Managing Gout

Overview

Gout is a common form of arthritis caused by a build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints, which can lead to sudden episodes of pain, swelling and inflammation. While gout is often associated with diet, factors such as age, genetics and underlying medical conditions can also play a role. Join us to learn more about the causes and symptoms of gout, treatment options available, support services, and practical lifestyle measures that can help prevent flare-ups. Participants will also gain insights from SGH Community Nurses into dietary choices, weight management and long-term strategies for managing gout effectively and maintaining joint health.
