Gout may be caused by genetic factors, unhealthy dietary habits, other diseases, and other factors. It can generally be treated through dietary adjustments and medication.

1. Genetic factors: Gout is a common metabolic disease with a certain genetic predisposition. A clear diagnosis can be obtained in the endocrinology department of a regular hospital.

2. Unhealthy dietary habits: Regularly consuming high-purine foods such as meats, seafood, and legumes can easily lead to abnormal purine metabolism in the body, causing an increase in uric acid levels, leading to the occurrence of gout. It is necessary to change unhealthy dietary habits and control the intake of high-purine foods in daily life.

3. Other diseases: When suffering from diseases such as diabetes and hyperuricemia, gout attacks are prone to occur. Generally, it is necessary to take medication under the guidance of a doctor to inhibit uric acid production, such as allopurinol tablets, febuxostat tablets, sodium bicarbonate tablets, and the like.
