What can't you eat for gout? Is there any cure?

Patients with gout are generally not allowed to eat high-purine foods, spicy and irritating foods, etc. There is usually no cure.

1. Dietary taboos

1. High-purine foods: such as animal offal, seafood, soy products, etc., these foods contain relatively high purine content, if eaten during illness, it may lead to an increase in uric acid levels in the body, thereby aggravating the condition.

2. Spicy and irritating foods: such as chili, garlic, mustard, etc., these foods are hot foods, which will promote blood circulation in the body after eating, making the pain in the joints more serious.

2. Treatment

Since gout is an incurable disease, there is currently no complete clinical cure. However, the progression of the disease can be controlled by aggressive treatment, and there are two commonly used treatments: medical treatment and surgical treatment.

1. Drug treatment: For patients in the acute exacerbation period, they can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief under the guidance of a doctor, such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to take drugs that inhibit the synthesis of uric acid according to the doctor's instructions, such as allopurinol tablets, febuxostat tablets, etc. If the patient's symptoms are severe, they need to go to the hospital in time to remove the tophi by surgery.

2. Surgical treatment: When the size of tophi is large, the symptoms of discomfort can also be improved by surgical removal of tophi.

It is recommended that patients should pay attention to a reasonable diet and avoid excessive intake of high-purine foods to avoid causing recurrent gout attacks. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to rest more and ensure enough sleep time, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.
