It is necessary to know several gout problems that patients are most concerned about.

At present, the incidence of gout in China is relatively high. Although there are always a few people around us who have gout, few people really know what kind of disease gout is. Some people only know that gout attacks are very painful and uncomfortable, but there are many basic problems about gout, but they must not understand them.

Here are some gout problems that patients are most concerned about. Let's take a look at this disease.

1, How to relieve pain in acute gout attack?

When patients have gout attacks, they can use ice packs or ice water to cold compress the painful joint parts, but the cold compress time should not be too long, generally about 20 to 30 minutes. Cold compress can relieve local inflammation and pain, but it is not recommended to use too cold ice packs to avoid uric acid deposition. At the same time, we must be careful not to use hot compress, which will aggravate inflammation and lead to more serious gout.

2, regardless of the attack or not, patients should pay attention to diet.

(1) inedible food

Animal fat: If patients often eat high-fat food, it will lead to the increase of body fat and the decrease of uric acid excretion, which will lead to the appearance of high fat, and the appearance of hyperlipidemia may lead to gout.

Seafood, animal offal, bean products. The purine content in these foods is relatively high, and eating too much will lead to an increase in uric acid content, which will lead to gout.

Alcohol: For patients with vitiligo, no matter what kind of wine can be drunk, because wine is a fermented drink. Drinking alcohol can easily lead to the accumulation of lactic acid, so drinking alcohol can easily cause gout.

Fungi. Although the purine content of fungi is not as high as the above foods, it is also a medium purine food, so patients must control their consumption when eating.

2 suitable food.

Cucumber: Cucumber is rich in vitamin C, a lot of water and potassium salt, which can not only clear away heat and relieve summer heat, but also help detoxify water, promote fluid production and quench thirst. Regular moderate consumption of cucumber can excrete excessive uric acid accumulated in the body through the effect of clearing heat and diuresis.

Celery: rich in vitamins and minerals, it has the function of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis. Gout patients can eat more appropriately, which is very helpful for treating gout.

Cabbage: also known as cabbage, cabbage is rich in vitamin C, and cabbage basically contains no purine.

Northeast carrot: I believe many gout patients have heard that "northeast stimulating carrot" is very helpful for gout, because this plant is a food with high alkaline "potassium" content. Potassium is very helpful for regulating osmotic pressure in cells and acid-base balance of body fluids, and also participates in the metabolism of purine and sugar, which has a good effect on balancing blood uric acid concentration.

3, drink water can not be less

Gout patients should not only pay attention to diet, but also need to drink plenty of water, and the daily drinking water should be kept at 2000ml-3000ml. This can not only promote the production of urine and thus promote the excretion of uric acid, but also neutralize the acidic environment in the body and avoid gout attacks.
