Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the results were not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Could you please explain how gouty arthritis is produced?Doctor's answer:
In recent times, I have frequently experienced joint pain. After a thorough examination, it was determined that the cause is gout. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly cooperate with medication for treatment. It is essential to go to the hospital and cooperate with the doctor for a detailed examination to check the uric acid levels. If the uric acid levels decrease, cooperate with medication to reduce uric acid. Daily diet must be paid attention to, and it is important not to eat seafood, as these foods contain high levels of uric acid components.
