Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness. It commonly affects the big toe but can involve other joints like ankles, knees, and wrists.
Gout develops when excess uric acid in the bloodstream forms sharp, needle-like crystals in a joint or surrounding tissue, causing inflammation and intense pain. High uric acid levels can result from genetics, diet, alcohol intake, certain medical conditions, and medications.
Effective strategies to prevent gout flare-ups include:
Common symptoms of a gout attack include:
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, online consultation can quickly provide relief.
Our licensed providers may recommend treatments such as:
NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to reduce pain and inflammation
Colchicine to control gout flares
Corticosteroids (oral or injectable) for more severe attacks
Urate-lowering medications for long-term prevention (if necessary)
Lifestyle advice and preventive strategies are always part of your treatment plan.
Ignoring or delaying treatment for gout can result in:
Recurrent and more severe attacks
Permanent joint damage and deformities
Development of kidney stones
Chronic arthritis and mobility issues
Tophi (visible lumps of urate crystals under the skin)
Prompt treatment reduces the chance of these serious complications.
