Gout during ovulation

Symptoms of gout during ovulation usually include joint pain, redness, swelling, and warmth. These symptoms may disappear within a day but may last for several days or a week. Symptoms of gout may occur along with other joint problems, such as arthritis and synovitis.

The occurrence of gout is related to elevated uric acid levels. Uric acid is a chemical substance produced by metabolism in the body and excreted mainly through the kidneys. During the middle of a woman's menstrual cycle, hormonal changes in the body may cause uric acid levels to rise, leading to a gout attack.

The best way to prevent gout attacks is to control uric acid levels. This can be achieved through diet and medication. Dietary control includes reducing the intake of high-purine foods such as meat, seafood and beer. Medical treatment includes NSAIDs and pain relievers to reduce pain and redness.
