Females and gout
Hi Amy. Welcome. We've been getting
alot of young females on this list
recently despite it normally being
rare for young females to have gout.
Usually gout is confirmed by aspirated
synovial fluid being subjected to a
bichromatic light test so as to rule
out other types of arthritis that
require different treatments.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are temporary
measures and have considerable risks.
Diet is but one component of your
uric acid burden.
Good luck.
