During a gout attack, drinking plenty of water can produce more urine, taking away more uric acid, which relieves the pain. The amount of urine produced by a normal person per day is about 2L per day, and a gout patient should consume more than 2L of water per day. Plain water and weak tea are good choices, and low-calorie, alkaline drinks, such as soda, are also very suitable for gout patients.

2. Eat more alkaline food and less acidic food, gout patients themselves have purine metabolism disorders and abnormal uric acid, if you eat too much acidic food, it will aggravate the condition, which is not conducive to **, and eating more alkaline food can help supplement potassium, sodium and chloride ions and maintain acid-base balance.

3. Eating more vegetables, eating less and eating more vegetables is conducive to reducing purine intake, increasing vitamin C, increasing fiber, and eating less is conducive to controlling calorie intake and limiting weight and lipid reduction.

Gout here refers to acute gouty arthritis, which is caused by the deposition of uric acid in the joints and causes aseptic inflammation of the joints, which is susceptible to young men. The typical process of gout is: saliva is fine, but in the second half of the night due to foot pain, and it is getting worse and worse, the joints are red, swollen, hot, painful, and the pain is strong or even unbearable.

In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as headache, fever, and elevated white blood cells may occur, and sometimes they may be mistaken for infection. The vast majority of gout occurs in the first metatarsophalangeal joint, which is the joint of the big toe. In severe cases, it slowly spreads upward, including the dorsum of the foot, heel, ankle, and knee

Joints such as the wrist and elbow also occur frequently. So how painful is gout? How painful gout is, some people joke that it is not inferior to the pain of a woman giving birth, it hurts more than ten broken ribs.

When you have gout, it's so painful that you want to cut off your toes. If you don't want to suffer from gout, prevention becomes very important, how to prevent gout? The root cause of gout is the high level of uric acid in the body, which is produced by the metabolism itself and the metabolism of purines contained in food.

Uric acid produced by its own metabolism is the most critical, and uric acid produced by purine metabolism in food accounts for only 20% of the total uric acid. Despite this, many people develop gout after overeating, which comes from the fact that the last wheat straw in the food is like the last wheat straw that crushes the camel, which is more likely to cause gout. Summer is a time to eat barbecue, and eating barbecue is usually inseparable from beer, and beer and skewers have become a nightlife situation for many people. Although the purine content in beer is not high, but beer contains ethanol, although the alcohol concentration in beer is generally around 3%, but it can not withstand the amount of alcohol, most people often drink a few cans or even a bundle of beer.

If you drink too much beer, you will have a lot of ethanol. Ethanol is closely related to gout, and drinking alcohol can easily cause gout.

If you have a history of high uric acid before, and the same symptoms occur again, you can consider the possibility of an acute attack of gout, and you can relieve the pain by resting (the key is that you dare not move even if it hurts), elevating the affected limb, drinking plenty of water (urine output is 2000 to 3000ml per day) and applying medication**. Countermeasures to prevent gout in summer: 1. Summer is the season to eat seafood, so you must keep your mouth shut, quit seafood, stop animal offal, and quit hot pot, which are all foods with strong purine content; 2. Quit drinking, especially beer, and remember to abstain; 3. Drink more water and urinate more to promote the excretion of uric acid in the body; 4. Strengthen exercise and healthy eating habits.

What causes gout? The underlying cause of gout is hyperuricemia. The higher the serum uric acid, the more frequent the gout attacks and the earlier the age of onset.

Studies have confirmed that gout may not always occur in hyperuricemia. Under certain conditions, such as alcoholism, joint injury, local temperature reduction, local pH reduction, fatigue, etc., uric acid forms uric acid crystals in the joints, which can induce gout attacks.

Because the foot blood is poor, the skin temperature is low, the tissue fluid pH is low, and the phalange joints are under great pressure and are easy to be damaged, and uric acid is easy to form crystals in the foot joints, so gouty arthritis mostly occurs in the foot joints. High and low blood uric acid can also easily induce gout attacks. A sudden increase in serum uric acid, which forms needle-like urate crystals in the synovial fluid of the joint; A sudden decrease in serum uric acid dissolves the surface of tophi in the articular area, releasing needle-like urate crystals.

Gout is very painful, it will affect a person's walking, and it will not allow people to work and live normally; In terms of diet, we must pay attention to eating some nutritious, easy to digest and absorb food, do not eat high protein and animal offal, do not drink alcohol, work and rest regularly, do not stay up late, and choose suitable exercise, so that you can avoid gout attacks.

As we all know, gout will have unbearable pain during the attack, I believe that this pain is only deeply experienced by gout patients, gout attack patients will have redness, swelling and pain, if not actively relieve the pain symptoms aggravated, it will have a serious impact on the health of the patient, then, what can be done to relieve the pain during the gout attack?

1. When gout attacks, patients can relieve pain through cold compresses, can they effectively reduce local inflammation, make blood tubules constrict, reduce local congestion symptoms, and achieve rapid pain relief.

2. During the attack of gout, if the pain is more severe, the patient can choose to apply medicinal wine or drugs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis**, which can promote the excretion of uric acid and reduce pain, or use drugs under the guidance of a doctor**. Drink plenty of water to promote the dissolution and excretion of uric acid and shorten the onset time of gout.

Gout is caused by excessive uric acid and joint redness, swelling, heat pain, gout patients should pay attention to control diet, standardize medication, appropriate exercise, need to follow the doctor's advice to standardize the use of medication, as long as you insist on medication, you can reduce the attack of gout, in the diet to control high-purine food, as well as strong tea, coffee and other foods that are not conducive to uric acid metabolism, so as not to interfere with uric acid metabolism and cause gout attacks.

We can freeze some ice packs in the refrigerator, if the use of cold compresses during the attack can play a role in pain relief and relief, at the same time we can elevate the affected area, after elevation can effectively relieve the symptoms of edema and pain, we also need to pay attention to drink more water on weekdays, drinking water can produce more urine, so as to expel excess uric acid.
