Gout Treatment in Johor Bahru

Gout

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is increasingly common in Malaysia due to diets high in purine-rich foods like organ meats, shellfish, and beer. Gout attacks cause sudden, intense pain — typically in the big toe — and can become chronic if uric acid levels are not managed.

Symptoms of Gout

✓Sudden intense joint pain (often big toe)
✓Joint swelling, redness, and warmth
✓Extreme tenderness — even bedsheet contact is painful
✓Limited range of motion in affected joint
✓Pain often strikes at night or early morning
✓Fever during severe attacks

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor at the first gout attack for proper diagnosis and pain management. Return if attacks become more frequent, last longer, affect multiple joints, or if you notice lumps (tophi) forming around your joints.
