Description:

An excessive amount of uric acid accumulates in the blood and causes gout. Subsequently, this uric acid crystallises into tiny particles that exit the circulation and settle in soft tissues like joints. In the joints, these microscopic crystals resemble grains of sand, impairing smooth range of motion and producing discomfort and inflammation. Uric acid crystals cause your body to react as though they were bacteria or an alien object. Inflammation results from the delivery of white blood cells and other immune-fighting cells to the area. This response can resemble an infection: redness, swelling, heat, and extreme tenderness will all appear in the affected area.

Cause:

Gout typically strikes men between the ages of 30 and 45 and women between the ages of 55 and 70 after menopause. When your body does not get rid of enough uric acid or produces too much of it, gout may develop. Some other risk factors may include • Consuming a lot of purine-rich foods such as red meat and certain fish varieties such as tuna sardines and scallops. • Eating and drinking foods and beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup or consuming large quantities of alcohol particularly beer. • Gout in the family history. • Chronic illnesses such as diabetes obesity or renal or cardiac disease. • Use of blood pressure lowering drugs, beta blockers, and diuretics. • Imbalance of the gut  microbiome causing decreased immunity

Symptom:

A gout attack causes the afflicted joint to become: extremely painful, tender red, hot, and swollen. As the attack settles, the skin over the joint may peel off, giving the appearance of shine.Attacks typically start out fast and frequently happen at night. Physicians refer to the abrupt onset of symptoms as "acute."The attack can last longer, but it usually ends after five to seven days. Gout attacks may increase in frequency and spread to new joints if untreated. Attacks usually begin in the wee hours of the morning and target the joint at the base of the big toe.The symptoms appear rapidly. Usually, they get worse in the first 12 to 24 hours after you realise it. Pain can be excruciating even from light contact with the affected joint; the weight of a bedsheet or a pair of socks can be excruciating.
