Gout Gout, an Australian Teen Sprinting Sensation
Gout Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by sudden and severe pain, redness, and swelling in the joints, most notably affecting the big toe. It results from the accumulation of urate crystals due to elevated blood uric acid levels. Genetics, dietary habits, obesity, and medical conditions contribute to this. Gout attacks, while painful, can be managed with medications and lifestyle changes, like dietary adjustments and maintaining a healthy weight, to prevent future flare-ups. Long-term management focuses on lowering uric acid levels to enhance life quality.
