What are the symptoms of mild gout?

Gout is a metabolic disease, mainly caused by excessive blood uric acid levels leading to the deposition of uric acid crystals in joints. Clinically, it is mainly manifested as recurrent arthritis, redness, swelling, and pain of chronic joint synovium. Here are the symptoms:

Acute Symptoms:

1. Sudden onset: Patients often experience sudden joint pain at night or early in the morning, which rapidly spreads to multiple joints throughout the body.

2. Severe pain: This pain is often unbearable, accompanied by significant redness, swelling, heat, and tenderness, which can even affect patients' normal activities.

3. Joint deformity: If left untreated for a long time, it may lead to joint deformities.

Intermittent Symptoms:

During the intermittent period of gout, there are generally no obvious symptoms of discomfort, but some patients may experience low fever, fatigue, etc.

Chronic Symptoms:

With the progression of the disease, if standard treatment is not received promptly, tophus can gradually increase and involve the kidneys, leading to complications such as kidney stones, ureteral stones, and others. It is recommended that patients maintain a light diet, avoid high-purine foods such as animal liver and seafood, and engage in appropriate exercise to promote metabolism and aid in disease recovery. When necessary, patients should follow the doctor's instructions and take medications such as Febuxostat Tablets and Benzbromarone Tablets.
