One of the first and most prominent signs of the disease is seizures. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that they manifest themselves mainly at night. It is noteworthy that at night, all symptoms of gout are exacerbated: painful pain is greatly intensified - it becomes difficult to endure pain.

Secondary signs of the disease can sometimes remain invisible to humans. In themselves, they rarely show any disease, but in the complex become an obvious symptom of gout.
A person suffering from this disease will constantly change their mood: at one point you are ready to fall in love and hug the whole world, and in an hour relatives and friends are afraid to approach you. Another unpleasant symptom: frequent heartburn and constantly recurring nausea.

A person may notice that the food does not seem so delicious to him anymore. Moreover, the sensations seem to be dulled: the acute is no longer acute, but the sweet is not sweet. With gout, appetite is lost, so people will be reluctant to absorb food.

Among other unpleasant "satellites" of gout, mention should be made of high blood pressure, constant shortness of breath and arrhythmia. However, this is by no means the worst thing that brings with it a disease.

Signs of gout in women
Despite the fact that it is a question of the same disease, its manifestation in women is specific. In addition to the development of gouty arthritis and the formation of tofusov( subcutaneous nodules), which are typical of both the fairer sex and men, other signs of gout are also prominent.

Attacks in women
Above we already mentioned about night attacks, during which a person suffers from acute pain and inflammatory changes. However, in the beautiful half of humanity these manifestations are poorly expressed.
The specificity of gout in women also lies in the fact that arthritis is located not in the first metatarsophalangeal foot joint, but in the ankle joint. Also in medical practice, cases when gout takes the form of multiple arthritis of small joints of brushes are not uncommon. Thus, the card of the gout - the location of the disease - is blurred and irrelevant.

Manifestations of gout according to the degrees of
At the first stage of the disease, signs of gout are expressed only in the fact that the level of uric acid increases in the body. Over time, a woman begins to complain of frequent urination, difficulties with sleeping and painful sensations in the abdomen.
Uric acid is a measure of purine metabolism, necessary for the diagnosis and control of the treatment of gout and other diseases.
In the second stage, gout makes itself felt by attacks when a woman can feel nausea, chills, which, however, quickly pass. However, in the meantime irreversible changes occur in the body.
