Gout Conditions
Gout Conditions
Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by sudden and severe pain, tenderness, redness, and swelling in joints, often in the big toe. It occurs due to an accumulation of urate crystals in the joints, leading to inflammation and intense discomfort. Gout attacks can be triggered by certain foods high in purines, alcohol consumption, obesity, or medical conditions affecting uric acid levels. Effective management involves medications to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation, dietary modifications to minimize purine intake, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication to lower uric acid
