Are you suffering from gout? Visit Dr. Givenchy Maree Garcia-Bonifacio, a highly regarded rheumatologist trained in Princeton, New Jersey, for expert gout treatment.
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden and severe pain, redness, and swelling. It most commonly affects the big toe but can occur in other joints as well.
Gout attacks typically involve intense joint pain that comes on suddenly, often at night. Symptoms include swelling, warmth, and redness in the affected area. While these signs may indicate gout, the best way to confirm the diagnosis is by consulting a rheumatologist like Dr. Givenchy Maree Garcia-Bonifacio.
Gout is primarily caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood, which can be due to:
If left untreated, gout can lead to permanent joint damage and the formation of tophi (hardened uric acid deposits). Additionally, excessive uric acid can accumulate in the kidneys, leading to kidney stones and even kidney disease. Managing uric acid levels early is crucial to preventing these complications.
Gout treatment involves medication to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as drugs to lower uric acid levels. A rheumatologist like Dr. Givenchy Maree Garcia-Bonifacio knows the best treatment plan tailored to each patient’s condition. Proper diet, hydration, and lifestyle changes also play a role in managing gout effectively.
