Gout stone is caused by urate deposition crystals in the human body , also known as gout nodules , which is a late manifestation of gout patients.
It causes pain and nodules covering the skin, which often occur in articular cartilage, tissues around the joints, tendon sheaths, auricles, renal interstitial and subcutaneous tissues , which are very serious and can cause damage to the joints of the body.
In addition, once the gout is broken, it is difficult to heal the wound, especially the foot gout.
Is the gout stone dragged out?
The main cause of tophi is human urate deposition, while uric acid is the final product of human purine metabolism . For example , abnormal purine metabolism in the human body can cause uric acid to rise and cause hyperuricemia , and urate will be slow in the body Slow deposition.
Without proper control and treatment, gout stones can result.
What should be paid attention to in the daily life of goutstone patients?
1. Rinse and disinfect the gout stone in time
When the tophus ruptures itself, it must be rinsed and disinfected .
The first "wash", that is, flushing with physiological saline, can remove the dirt; "elimination" refers to disinfection, and the patient can use iodophor or hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the ulcer;
The second "wash" refers to sterilization, and then rinse with normal saline . If residual crystals are left in the rupture, they can be soaked in baking soda and dissolved. However, if the patient has a large ulcer area and a wide range, he should seek medical treatment to prevent infection.
Only by treating gout stones in this way can we help wound healing, prevent the gout stones from getting worse, and increase the risk of amputation.
2.Avoid wet water from tophus wounds
No patient should be exposed to water during the wounds treated by the patient according to the above method at home or the wounds treated by a doctor.
Because the wound is very easy to breed bacteria and other microorganisms, causing wound infection , which is not conducive to healing, thereby increasing the ulceration surface and increasing the risk of amputation .
3. Ensuring adequate daily nutrition
Human wound healing requires adequate nutrition for support. If the patient cannot guarantee adequate daily nutrition supply, it will lead to the failure of tophi to heal, thereby increasing the risk of infection, which may eventually lead to the expansion of the wound and the risk of amputation .
However, to ensure adequate nutrition, you need to pay attention to stay away from high purine foods , such as seafood, animal offal, and fishy soups. Such foods will increase the uric acid content in the body and may also aggravate the problem of tophi.
4. Maintain a good attitude
Goutstone rupture wounds take a long time to heal, ranging from several months to several years. Patients will be tortured by them, so it is difficult for many people to maintain a good attitude.
A bad state of mind can affect the body's metabolism , which in turn lengthens the healing time, increases the risk of wound infection , and increases the risk of amputation.
Therefore, patients must maintain a good attitude, relieve psychological pressure in a timely manner, and learn to divert their attention. Patients' families also need to provide patients with mental support, help wound healing, and reduce the risk of amputation.
Many patients suffer from gout stones. In addition to the correct and regular treatment, patients must pay attention to the above four things in their daily lives, which can help alleviate the symptoms of tophi and reduce the risk of amputation .
In addition, in daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to prevention, such as reducing the intake of high-purine food, drinking more water, more exercise, etc., can prevent hyperuricemia and prevent the occurrence of tophi.
