LET'S TALK - GOUT. Greetings to y'all our esteemed clients & fans of Dr Ngechu Mandacu Gasex Clinic Ruiru & All Beta Health Cures Clinics Coutrywide.
The Problem is really not you having gout, it's waiting too long to have it treated! That's the real problem so my advice to you is, don't wait***
✅Gout is a common and complex type of inflammatory arthritis that causes sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness in the joints. It occurs when high levels of uric acid (a normal bodily waste product) in the blood lead to the formation and accumulation of sharp, needle-like crystals within a joint or surrounding tissue.
✳️Key Characteristics
👉Symptoms: Gout attacks, or "flares," are characterized by the rapid onset of intense pain, usually reaching their worst within 12 to 24 hours. The affected joint becomes swollen, red, hot, and extremely tender, sometimes so sensitive that even the weight of a bedsheet can be unbearable.
👉Commonly Affected Areas: Gout most often affects the joint at the base of the big toe (known as podagra), but it can also occur in other joints such as the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
👉Cause: Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down purines, which are natural substances found in the body's tissues and in many foods (e.g., red meat, shellfish, organ meats, alcohol). Normally, the kidneys filter out uric acid, but if the body produces too much or the kidneys don't excrete enough, it builds up in the bloodstream (hyperuricemia).
👉Triggers: Gout flares can be triggered by rapid changes in uric acid levels caused by certain foods, alcohol consumption (especially beer), specific medications (like diuretics), physical trauma, or illness.
✳️Long-Term Implications
🔅If left untreated, gout can become a chronic condition, leading to more frequent and longer-lasting attacks, permanent joint damage, and the formation of hard lumps of uric acid crystals under the skin called tophi. High uric acid levels are also associated with an increased risk of kidney stones and other health conditions like heart disease and metabolic syndrome.
Gout is highly treatable through a combination of medication to manage acute pain and lower uric acid levels, along with lifestyle and dietary changes. We will treat& cure it away!
