So where can the pain of gout be discharged? For the acute attack of gout, some patients have described it as "as fast as the wind and as painful as cutting". In the dead of night, gout passed quietly like a gust of wind, but it left patients with severe pain. At this time, the patient's pain can reach 3-4 degrees in the WHO Pain Scale, and the pain makes him want to cry ... At this time, the patient usually involuntarily seeks various drugs to relieve the pain.
After temporary treatment, the patient's pain gradually stabilized. However, new problems have come again. Does gout mean it's better if it doesn't hurt?
Of course not!
High uric acid is the pathological basis of gout attack. The disorder of purine metabolism and the decrease of uric acid excretion can cause the increase of serum uric acid level. When the serum uric acid of adult males is ≥420μmol/L and that of premenopausal females is ≥360μmol/L, it is called hyperuricemia. Just as strong brine is constantly adding salt, saturated brine can't continue to dissolve salt, and the precipitated salt frost is deposited in the water bottle. When serum uric acid exceeds the above level, uric acid will precipitate from the blood and form urate crystals.
Uric acid salt crystals are deposited in joint tissues, causing local aseptic inflammation, which is the acute gout attack experienced by gout patients. For patients with high blood uric acid for a long time, even if the acute attack of gout subsides, urate crystals can still be detected in the synovial tissue of patients under the microscope. If the root of hyperuricemia is not well controlled, it is only a matter of time before gout recurs.
The green part of the picture shows urate deposited locally in the joint by Shuang Yuan CT examination.
The influence of gout on patients is not only the pain during the attack, but also the long-term deposition of urate crystals in joints may cause bone destruction and permanent joint injury. Therefore, in the treatment of gout, we must solve the root problem.
At present, if a person has gout, he basically needs to take medicine for life to control uric acid level. In the long run, the internal organs will be damaged accordingly, and there is no other way but to take medicine?
Yes!
In the planning of Healthy China 2030, the country mentioned "non-drug therapy" for the first time. This is because non-drug therapy plays a unique role in the prevention and treatment of common, frequently-occurring and chronic diseases. At present, we are familiar with the diet products with female carrots as the core, which have a good effect on gout.
Many patients reported that their compound flint carrot slices and whole grass concentrated raw powder cured gout by activating the body's self-healing system, conditioning organs and finally dissolving tophi. Natural ingredients are relatively safe and will not cause harm to the body. There are many non-drug therapies, so we can pay more attention to them.
