Patient's question:
Right knee joint swelling and weakness, ankle joint swelling and pain, difficulty urinating requiring longer waiting time, small cyst on the testicle. History of gout, high blood pressure, gallstones and fatty liver. The first recurrence of gout was in 2005. What's wrong with the swelling and pain in the knee and ankle joints?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is preliminarily considered that this may be caused by gout and prostatitis. It is recommended that you actively seek medical re-examination. A doctor's detailed physical examination and auxiliary tests are necessary to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
