Gout Q & A
What is Gout?
Gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by elevated uric acid levels in the blood. There is treatment and relief available. Schedule an appointment with a Board Certified doctor at 91桃色视频 at either of our two New York City offices to get help for your gout.
If the level of uric acid starts to accumulate it can crystallize and cause irritation in the joints. This can lead to warmth at the joint and sometimes sudden or severe pain swelling & redness. These intense episodes often referred to as gout attacks can recur frequently if uric acid levels remain high. Chronic gout may develop making attacks harder to manage with standard treatments. Men are more likely to suffer from gout and risk factors like high cholesterol high blood pressure heart disease and diabetes can increase the likelihood of developing gout.
Risk Factors for Gout
There are many common factors contributing to gout becoming more likely to develop including:
- A family history of gout
- Taking diuretics or immune-suppressing medications
- Consuming large amounts of red meat or shellfish
- Consuming more than two alcoholic drinks daily
- Obesity or currently overweight
- Having undergone bypass surgery
- Frequently consuming fructose-rich sodas or sugary beverages
Getting Effective Treatments for Gout
When a gout attack occurs controlling pain and swelling is a priority. Manhattan Podiatry Associate doctors can make recommendations to help relieve symptoms including:
- Avoiding sugary drinks and alcohol opting for water instead
- Icing and elevating the affected joint
- Reducing stress as stress can worsen symptoms
- Taking anti-inflammatory medication at the first sign of an attack
- Providing consultation for completion of daily tasks
Corticosteroids either oral or injected can be used to reduce inflammation. Medications to lower uric acid levels may also be prescribed after the attack subsides. If you’re struggling with gout Manhattan Podiatry will discuss and explore personalized treatment options.
