Gout is a metabolic disease mainly manifesting as hyperuricemia and arthritis attacks. The treatment methods mainly include non-pharmacological therapy and drug therapy. Non-pharmacological therapy is one of the important means to control the condition. Dietary adjustment is crucial, and patients are advised to follow a low-purine diet principle, avoiding excessive intake of purine-rich foods such as animal organs and seafood. Moderate exercise also helps reduce weight and improve cardiovascular health. Drug therapy is also a commonly used treatment method. Currently, uric acid-lowering drugs such as allopurinol and febuxostat are commonly used in clinical practice. These drugs can inhibit uric acid synthesis or promote uric acid excretion, thus achieving the purpose of reducing blood uric acid levels. For patients with obvious symptoms in the acute phase, anti-inflammatory analgesics can also be used to relieve pain and inflammatory reactions. During drug therapy, patients should take medication reasonably under the guidance of doctors and regularly check blood uric acid levels to evaluate the therapeutic effect. However, there are significant individual differences, and the treatment effects of different patients may vary. Therefore, multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively when selecting a treatment plan. A combination of reasonable non-pharmacological therapy and appropriate drug therapy can help gout patients effectively control their condition, alleviate symptoms, and prevent the occurrence of complications. However, specific treatment plans need to be developed by professional doctors based on the patient's specific situation. It is recommended that gout patients seek medical attention promptly and receive professional diagnosis and guidance.
