Can women get gout?

Gout is a relatively common disease in clinical practice. Generally speaking, gout has a hereditary history, but in clinical practice, there are more male gout patients and very few female gout patients. However, this does not mean that women will not get gout. The main cause of gout is due to abnormal purine metabolism in the human body. The age of onset is generally concentrated in middle age and young people, which has a serious impact on the body and the patients are also very painful.

Although women are less likely to develop gout, they generally develop gout after menopause. So women can get gout, and genetics is one of the reasons. In order to prevent and treat gout, you should do three more and three less in your diet: drink more water and less soup. People with high blood uric acid and gout patients should drink more boiled water and less meat broth, fish soup, chicken soup, hot pot soup, etc. The osmotic pressure of boiled water is most conducive to dissolving various harmful substances in the body. Drinking more boiled water can dilute uric acid, accelerate excretion, and lower uric acid levels. The soup contains a large amount of purine, which not only fails to dilute uric acid but instead causes an increase in uric acid.

Eat more alkaline foods and less acidic foods. Gout patients have purine metabolism disorders and abnormal uric acid. If they eat too much acidic food, it will aggravate the condition and be detrimental to recovery. Gout is a metabolic disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism leading to increased uric acid synthesis. The reason why men are more likely to suffer from gout than women is that estrogen in women's bodies can promote the excretion of uric acid and inhibit the onset of arthritis. Men like to drink, party, and eat a lot of meat and fish, which increases uric acid in the body and reduces excretion.

For patients with gout, we recommend that they go to the hospital for examination in time to confirm the disease. Don't delay. The longer you delay, the greater the harm to your body. This type of gout is a metabolic disease. If not treated in time, various organs in the body may be affected. We should also pay attention to our daily diet. It is recommended to eat less food with high purine content, such as animal offal, bone marrow, fish and shrimp, etc.
