Gout

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. It commonly affects the big toe but can also involve the ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows. Patients often experience sudden attacks of severe pain, swelling, redness, and warmth in the affected joints. Without proper treatment, repeated gout attacks can lead to chronic joint damage and kidney-related complications. At Dr. Sowmya Kotha’s Rheumatology Clinic, patients receive accurate diagnosis, uric acid management, dietary guidance, and personalized treatment plans to control symptoms and prevent future flare-ups. Lifestyle modifications and regular follow-up care are essential for long-term disease control. The clinic focuses on helping patients achieve pain relief, better mobility, and improved overall health.
