I haven t had an attack of gout for a year, how can I tell if it has healed on its own?

There are often some gout patients who have some questions: they have gout, but they have taken painkillers for a few days, and even some people don't take any medicine, and then they never have an attack again. Is this a self-healing form of gout?

Although suffering from gout is very painful, gout is not so easy to heal on its own, and it is still necessary to standardize**.

Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolismGout is caused by a long-term disorder of purine metabolism and elevated blood uric acidIf the patient has no clinical symptoms and the concentration of uric acid in the blood is higher than normal, it is medically called "hyperuricemia". If the concentration of uric acid in the blood reaches saturated solubility, these substances eventually form crystals, which accumulate in the soft tissues, eventually leading to the body's inflammatory response and gouty arthritis. Gout is considered by many people to be the "first pain in the world".

The typical process of a gout attack is: sleeping fine, waking up in the middle of the night because of foot pain, and getting worse, the joints are red and swollen, hot and painful, and the pain is severe or even unbearable. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as headache, fever, and leukocytosis may also occur.

The presence of gout indicates the presence of urate crystals in the joint cavity. In general, even if you don't take the medicine for the first time, the pain will be relieved within a week, and then it may not happen again after a year or two or even longer. However, this does not mean that urate crystals in the joint cavity disappear

It's just the equivalent of hibernation, like a monster, sneeze while sleeping to let you know it's there, and then it falls asleep again, but may still sneeze again later or even wake up frequently to make trouble.

At first, many patients may feel that gout is easy to treat, and it will not hurt if you take some medicine. Later, it will be found that after a few years of relief, the joint pain becomes more frequent, the pain is relieved more slowly, and the pain lasts longer. It may start once a year, then gradually occur two or three times a year, and some even last for a month, and finally relieve it for more than ten days.

Not only are arthritis attacks becoming more frequent, but the kidneys may also slowly become damaged. This is because it was not taken seriously at firstSlight pain relief and irregular uric acid reduction lead to increasing damage to joints and even organs from urate crystals.

Gout is a manifestation of hyperuricemia, because the human body has been in a state of high uric acid for a long time, uric acid will form crystals when it reaches a certain concentration, and these crystals are most likely to be deposited in the joint of the big toe of the left foot (I don't know why), over time, more and more crystals in the joints, arthritis will occur, so the pain is called arthritis caused by high uric acid. High uric acid can not only cause gout, but also lead to other diseases.

The so-called gout** does not mean that the uric acid will not be higher in this life, but that the next time your uric acid rises, arthritis will not occur again. Therefore, if you want to have elevated uric acid, but arthritis will not occur, there is only one way, which is to dissolve all the uric acid crystals in the joints and discharge them.

Gout doesn't go away on its own, and it doesn't go completely**. In this case, it can only mean that your usual lifestyle and eating habits are very good and did not cause a gout attack.

Gout will not heal on its own, and if there is no attack, it means that you are maintaining it very well, and you need to continue to maintain it.

You need to go to the hospital for corresponding examinations to see if your indicators are normal to judge whether you are self-healing.

No, because this disease has no possibility of self-healing, no attack, indicating that the blood uric acid is not high, we should pay more attention in our daily life and avoid eating high-purine foods, so as to avoid the increase in blood uric acid, so as to avoid gout attacks. 、

If you haven't had a seizure for a year, it's already **, but you also have to consult a doctor to avoid another seizure.

No, it may be that you have been in better physical fitness recently, and you are also relatively healthy, so you have not had a seizure.

Gout may lead to reverse, joint deformity, kidney damage, etc.

1.The condition is reversed:

Gout is currently a disease that cannot be healed by itself, if it is not regulated in time, it may lead to the reversal of gout, and the symptoms of joint redness and swelling, joint pain and joint mobility restriction may occur, which will bring pain to patients and may seriously affect normal work and life. Check the slippery barricade.

2.Joint deformities:

Patients with gout who have not been regulated for a long time may have tophi, which is more likely to occur in the first metatarsal toe, knuckle and other parts. The joints deposited in large quantities of tophi can cause joint bone destruction, resulting in joint deformity, and in severe cases, it may also lead to loss of joint function, which is disabling.

3.Kidney damage:

If gout patients do not receive the norm in time, it can cause kidney damage due to urate adhesion and deposition in renal tubules and other parts. In the early stage, there may be manifestations such as increased nocturia and mild hematuria; In the late stage, there may be oliguria or even anuria, increased blood pressure, edema and other manifestations of defeat, resulting in acute renal failure and seriously affecting the health of the body.

If you have symptoms such as redness, swelling and pain in your joints, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, improve relevant examinations, clarify **, and follow the doctor's instructions to avoid delaying the condition.

Prolonged absence of gout may lead to joint damage and exacerbated pain, leading to frequent and prolonged gout attacks, affecting quality of life. It is recommended that Ming Songtang TCM Clinic** for gout, they may use Chinese medicine**, such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, supplemented by dietary control and lifestyle improvement. Traditional Chinese medicine** can regulate the balance of yin and yang in the body, eliminate dampness and heat stasis, fundamentally reduce the symptoms of gout, and help prevent pain tolerance and clear the wind**.

However, it is best to consult a doctor before receiving ** to understand the individual situation and whether the ** plan is suitable.

Cheng Benwei explained how gout can return to normal in a short time, gout is a chronic disease, and a certain course of treatment is required, the sooner it is.

**There are many ways to go to gout, which need to be targeted according to different periods of the condition**. Chen Jianchun told everyone that in the acute stage, you can take colchicine, allopurinol, benzbromarone and other drugs to relieve pain and lower uric acid. The attack of gout is closely related to life and eating habits, and it is necessary to adhere to long-term control, otherwise it is easy to **.

Adhere to a low-purine diet for a long time, avoid seafood, broth, dried peas, strengthen exercise, maintain a reasonable weight, quit drinking, drink more water, and drink more than 2000ml of water every day. Avoid overeating, alcohol, cold and moisture, excessive fatigue and nervousness, and wear comfortable shoes.

Gout is indeed developing in the direction of **, but there are still certain difficulties in theory, and there may be several reasons for this problem.

**Only pain relief, no uric acid lowering, no regular re-examination of uric acid after stopping the drug, uric acid-lowering drugs must be taken for a long time? When will I be able to stop taking the drug? How much less does uric acid fall to meet the target?

High uric acid refers to the uric acid content in the blood of men exceeding 416 mol l, and women exceeding 360 mol l0, and the uric acid drops too quickly, so the drug must be reduced and stopped?

Analysis: Hello, gout, this is caused by the accumulation of uric acid in the body caused by insufficient activity of enzymes responsible for breaking down uric acid in the body, and deposited in joints, soft tissues, etc.

Advice: The key to controlling gout attacks is to reduce blood uric acid levels. For those with slightly high blood uric acid levels, sodium bicarbonate tablets can be taken, and if the level is more high, benzbromarone.

Problem analysis: Gout is caused by excessive purine production or reduced excretion of purines in the body, which induces the accumulation of uric acid in the joints, resulting in a series of symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints. If it is gouty arthritis, the opinion suggests:

Usually also need to avoid greasy and sour spicy, seafood, animal offal, alcohol and other foods, you can drink more water, and during the pain, you also need to give colchicine and anti-inflammatory painkillers to get better.

Problem analysis: The symptoms of gout are generally acute attacks in the middle of the night or early morning, with fever, headache, dry mouth, bitter mouth, redness, swelling, heat and pain and other symptoms. Allopurinol should be considered if the serum uric acid level is consistently above 500.

Suggestions: In the case of acute attack of gout, colchicine can only be used for analgesia, and for usually mild pain, indomethacin and voltarin ointment can be used. Dietary control and drinking plenty of water are important for controlling gout attacks. Be careful to avoid foods that are high in purines.
