Understanding Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis that causes sudden, intense pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most often the big toe.
Symptoms of Gout
- Fever during a flare
- Sudden intense joint pain, frequently at night
- Shiny red skin over the joint
- Pain when anything touches the joint
- Swelling and warmth
Causes and Risk Factors
High uric acid in the blood forms crystals in the joint. Attacks can be set off by alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sweet drinks, dehydration and certain medicines, all frequent on holiday.
Gout in Marmaris: What to Know Locally
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
