Relevant data show that there are as many as 170 million hyperuricemia patients in China, and more than 80 million gout patients, and the annual growth rate is increasing by 9.7%, showing a younger trend. rare.

With the improvement of living standards, big fish and big meat have begun to appear on people's dining tables. In recent years, gout has further launched an offensive against young people, and the proportion of young patients even exceeds that of middle-aged and elderly patients, even patients under the age of 20 are not rare.

What is gout?

Gout is a hereditary or acquired disorder of purine metabolism in the human body, resulting in an increase in the concentration of uric acid in the blood, resulting in the formation of urate crystals around the joints, causing crystal arthritis.

If only a single high uric acid is not called gout, it can only be called gout when urate crystals form in the joints and form "tophi". There is no sign of gout before the attack, gout gout, gas like wind, can be said to be worthy of the name.

But once gout attacks, the pain is often unbearable and very severe. The affected joint may be red, swollen, sore, painful, and even edematous.

How to quickly relieve gout pain?

1. Because the swollen part is hot and severe and painful, you can use an ice pack to apply cold compress to the skin to help reduce the pain.

2. If the pain is really unbearable, it must be relieved with analgesics. Do not use hormones and salicylic acid for pain relief, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.

3. Daily use 5 grams of cinnamon to grind into powder, mix with honey for 20 minutes, massage the joint pain, generally 30 minutes can relieve pain.

4. Before going to bed at night, soak your feet with a gout hand and foot bath for at least 30 minutes. It relieves pain and allows uric acid crystals to be redissolved and excreted.

5. Regularly move the joints, move your fingers and toes, knees and elbows, and do stretching exercises, which will drive away the uric acid crystals in the joints.

Is soy milk a gout "hair thing"?

This statement is a bit one-sided. Whether patients with gout can drink soy milk also needs to be decided according to the specific condition. If you are in an acute attack of gout, it is recommended not to drink soy milk. If you are in remission, you can drink a small amount of soy milk.

This is mainly because the purine content of dried soybeans is high. Although the purines will be diluted a lot after being made into soy milk, it is still a food with moderate purine content, so patients with gout should be cautious when drinking soy milk.

Doctor: I don't want my kidneys to "rot", 3 kinds of food are withdrawn from the table early

【fungus】

Wild mushrooms and fungi are foods with moderate purine content. As people with gout or high uric acid, they should be very cautious when eating such foods.

Especially artificial bacteria such as shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and abalone mushrooms are also medium purine foods. 100 grams of mushrooms contain 28.4 mg of purines, 100 grams of abalone mushrooms contain 26.7 mg of purines, and 100 grams of enoki mushrooms contain 60.9 mg of purines, so gout patients should Eat carefully.

【Pork Liver】

Patients with gout cannot eat pig liver. Pig liver is a high-purine food. After eating, it will lead to disorder of purine metabolism in the body, causing the level of blood uric acid to increase, thereby inducing gout. Not only pig liver, but also some animal offal food, gout patients should not eat it.

【seafood】

Eating too much seafood can also cause gout attacks. Seafood is a high-purine food. Eating seafood will lead to a rapid increase in the content of uric acid in the blood, but it cannot be excreted in time and deposited, resulting in gout symptoms. In particular, eating seafood with beer is a taboo for gout sufferers.

The doctor reminds: The statement that soy milk is a gout "hair product" is a bit one-sided. Gout patients need to decide whether they can drink soy milk according to their own conditions.

But what is certain is that if you don't want your kidneys to "rot", the three foods, fungi, pork liver, and seafood, should be taken out of the table early to avoid gout attacks!
