1, gout caused by genetic causes
Gout is a hereditary metabolic disease with obvious heredity. People with a family history of gout are prone to gout if they don't pay attention to their eating habits. Mainly due to the lack of an enzyme in this kind of human body, uric acid, a purine metabolite in food, cannot be excreted in time, leading to the accumulation of uric acid in the body. Uric acid in blood increases, which can form crystals and accumulate in joints, causing inflammation and inducing gout.
Gout is caused by sex.
Men are more prone to gout than women. Gout patients are mostly men, and the age group over 30 is high. Estrogen in women can promote the excretion of uric acid, so the probability of gout in women is much lower than that in men.
3. Obesity causes gout.
Obesity also has a certain relationship with gout. Obesity can lead to gout, because the larger the body surface area, the higher the blood uric acid level. The serum uric acid level of obese people is usually higher than that of normal people, so obese people are easy to induce gout.
4. Bad living habits lead to gout
Bad habits such as irregular life, frequent staying up late, and excessive fatigue will disrupt the "biological clock" rhythm of the human body, make the metabolism of the human body disordered, and aggravate the acidity of the constitution, thus making uric acid abnormal and causing gout.

Matters needing attention in treating gout by soaking feet
1, you can't soak your feet when gout attacks.
If gout patients soak their feet during the acute attack of pain, it will not stop the pain, but sometimes it will escalate the pain, become red and swollen, and aggravate the condition. Under normal circumstances, they should be soaked again after 24 hours of onset. If the pain doesn't break out, soaking your feet is good for your health.
Don't dry your feet directly.
Many people have the habit of drying their feet directly instead of soaking them. Actually, this is not right. When soaking feet, the water temperature is generally high, and the sweat pores of the skin open quickly and remain open all the time. At this time, taking your feet out directly is easy to get wind, which is easy to lead to gout recurrence, and it is also the reason why many gout patients are easy to get sick after taking a bath. So after soaking your feet, you must dry them and put on your socks. Never dry them.
