About gout
A sudden, intensely painful, red and swollen joint, classically the big toe, is typical of gout, a form of arthritis.
Common triggers
High uric acid levels in the blood, which form crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a common cause.
Local tips for gout in Beylerbeyi
Visitors in Beylerbeyi often cram too much into one day, and tired legs, upset stomachs and infections follow the crowds. Close by are Florya, Yesilkoy, Istinye, which share the same medical services. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the doctor how your days are going.
Avoiding gout on holiday
Drink plenty of water, limit alcohol, red meat and sugary drinks, keep to a healthy weight and take any preventive medicine as prescribed.
Care and treatment for gout
Your doctor goes through your history, suggests pain relief and flare treatment, and renews regular gout tablets when suitable; a hot, swollen joint with fever must be examined in person. Typical choices are anti-inflammatory pain relief, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
