Patient's question:
My brother is around 38 years old this year. He has been suffering from gouty arthritis for many years, which has been tormenting him constantly. Watching him has also made me very sad, so I want to consult a doctor on his behalf here. What are the treatment options for gouty arthritis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, gouty arthritis is often caused by not strictly controlling diet habits, frequently consuming foods like animal organs or seafood, which can lead to repeated fluctuations in uric acid levels. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination. Currently, you can also take appropriate medications that help excrete uric acid or reduce inflammation and pain. Specific medication use should follow medical advice, and it is best to avoid consuming seafood and similar foods.
