and minimize the damage to the body?
Today Dr. Cheng will give you 3 tips for gout patients at different stages and types
Everyone knows that the number of gout patients is increasing year by year
Especially young people
like to drink milk tea and eat high-fat and high-salt foods for a long time
Generally, the uric acid test will be accurate! They are all above 500!
And everyone has the same feeling:
It is difficult to reduce and stabilize uric acid
Tophi will develop in the long run< /p>
During an acute attack, the pain is unbearable
This is a problem that many people encounter
Where does this problem actually lie? You may not be using the right method.
So what should we do?
There are generally two types of medicines to treat uric acid:
One is to promote uric acid excretion, and the other is to reduce uric acid production
But it must be Note that if you want to avoid the formation of tophi and reduce the number of gout attacks, uric acid needs to be stable below the normal value for a long time. This medicine must be taken consistently for a long time. You cannot blindly reduce or stop the medicine. The important thing is that these two medicines There are many types, and which one is suitable for you depends on your specific condition.
The second one is visual acupuncture, which is also a method I use more often in clinical practice. It can directly lower uric acid, which can be said to treat both the symptoms and the root cause.
Because tophi is like a large warehouse of uric acid, which will continuously release and accumulate uric acid. No matter how much medicine you take, it cannot be eliminated.
Removing tophi with acupotomy is equivalent to destroying the uric acid storehouse. Many patients have high uric acid. The uric acid will be reduced the next day after the operation, and the body will feel relaxed. It is a small operation and can be performed on the same day. You can get out of bed. This method is available in many regular hospitals and experienced doctors will do it.
If you are still suffering from gout and uric acid, you can try it under the guidance of a doctor.
Third, immunoadsorption: It is very suitable for patients with severe gout or those who are ineffective in traditional treatment methods.
For example, some patients with gout have been suffering from gout for decades and have taken different types of medicines, but their uric acid is still high. Then you can try immunoadsorption, which uses instruments to close the joints in your body. By filtering out the pathogenic factors in the body, let me give you an analogy, which is equivalent to taking a bath in the body. After the treatment, your symptoms will soon improve.
