गाउट (Gout) is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in one or more joints. It is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, which can lead to inflammation and damage. In Hindi, गाउट (Gout) is also known as वातरक्त (Vatarakt).

Symptoms of gout include:

• Sudden and severe pain in the joints, often in the big toe, ankle, or knee.
• Swelling, redness, and tenderness in the affected joint.
• Limited range of motion in the affected joint.

Treatment for gout typically involves medications to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as lifestyle changes to manage uric acid levels in the body. Some common medications used to treat gout include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, and corticosteroids. Lifestyle changes may include avoiding foods high in purines, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy weight.
