Gout is a very distressing disease, especially during attacks, it can cause unbearable pain and requires medication to control. Some pregnant women may also have gout, but they cannot take medication at will as it can easily affect the fetus. So, what should pregnant women do with gout?
Pregnant women should not use drugs without authorization during ventilation attacks. Most drugs have a significant impact on fetal development and may cause fetal deformities. Therefore, pregnant women with ventilation need to seek treatment from experts in obstetrics and gynecology and rheumatology, and use drugs reasonably to minimize the impact on the fetus.
Patients with gout should pay attention to rest. During attacks, the affected limb should be raised to avoid movement and joint weight-bearing. They should rest well and pay attention to keeping the affected limb warm during the recuperation period to avoid being affected by wind and cold winds. When the affected limb is eroded by cold air, gout can occur and worsen symptoms.
Pregnant women with gout should pay attention to their daily diet, drink plenty of water, strictly quit drinking, and avoid high purine foods, including animal organs, bone soup, seafood, and some fermented foods. They should also eat less soy products, which are not conducive to disease recovery and may even increase the risk. Gout patients should insist on eating more fruits, vegetables, and alkaline foods.
