Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Is it true that obese people are more prone to gout?Doctor's answer:
For gout, this condition is more common in overweight patients. Overweight individuals often consume excessive greasy foods, eat too many animal organs, and have a heavy diet, while also engaging in less physical activity. This leads to the accumulation of acidic substances in the body, which in turn causes gout. Therefore, overweight individuals should try to reduce their food intake, maintain a light diet, and rest at regular times. It is also important to actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
