Wang Dahai is a 51-year-old middle-aged man who has struggled since his youth and eventually climbed to the position of project manager in a large construction company.
He has a cheerful personality and is very serious in his work, and has always been a role model in the hearts of his colleagues. But who would have thought that such an enviable man would leave this world prematurely because of gout.
One ordinary morning, when Wang Dahai was preparing to go to work at home, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the thumb of his right foot.
He thought he had accidentally kicked the furniture last night, so he put on his shoes and continued his busy day. However, the pain did not lessen because of his neglect, but became more and more severe.
By noon, he couldn't bear it anymore and went to the hospital at the suggestion of his colleague.
In the hospital, Wang Dahai waited patiently in line, thinking that this was just a trivial matter, at most a sprain.
When it was his turn, the doctor carefully examined his foot and then recommended some blood tests and X-rays. Although Wang Dahai had some doubts in his heart, he still obeyed the doctor's arrangement.
A few days later, the results of the examination came back. The doctor told him, "Your uric acid level is very high, it has reached the level of gout. Wang Dahai was stunned for a moment, he never thought that he would get this disease.
Wang Dahai asked a little puzzled: "But I usually pay attention to my diet, and I rarely eat high-purine foods such as offal, seafood, and soy products." ”
The doctor sighed and explained, "The triggers of gout are not just diet, there are many other factors, such as genetics, obesity, alcohol consumption and metabolic problems. ”
Wang Dahai was a little dazed when he heard this: "Then what else can I do to control the condition?" ”
The doctor patiently explained to him: "The first is the treatment of drugs to control uric acid levels.
The second is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise moderately, and control your weight. In addition, it is necessary to avoid alcohol, especially beer, which is most likely to cause elevated uric acid. ”
Wang Dahai's work pressure is high, he often works overtime and eats irregularly. He knew that the doctor had a point, but it wasn't easy for him to make a complete lifestyle change.
After returning home, he discussed with his wife for a long time and decided to try to adjust his life according to the doctor's advice.
However, the busy work and frequent entertainment made Wang Dahai's plan repeatedly frustrated. Although he tries not to eat offal and seafood, it is difficult to refuse.
After every drink, he felt a dull pain in his feet, but for the sake of his career, he chose to continue to endure.
A severe gout attack forced him to take time off work again to go to the hospital.
This time, the doctor's expression was more serious: "Your condition is already very serious, and if you don't control it, it may lead to more serious complications, such as kidney stones and kidney failure." ”
Wang Dahai's heart sank, he knew that he couldn't drag it out like this any longer. However, he said to the doctor, "Doctor, I really want to control my condition, but the pressure of work is too great for me to completely change my lifestyle." ”
The doctor shook his head helplessly: "I understand your difficulties, but health is the most important thing. If you continue like this, it will not only affect your quality of life, but even endanger your life. ”
Despite the doctor's warnings, Wang Dahai was unable to completely change his lifestyle.
One day a few months later, he collapsed at home during a gout attack and was rushed to the hospital. In the end, due to kidney failure caused by prolonged hyperuricemia, Wang Dahai unfortunately passed away.
Wang Dahai's story has left a profound lesson for us. Gout is not only a disease caused by hyperuricemia, but also hides many problems in modern people's lifestyle and health management.
Many people think that gout can be avoided by not eating high-purine foods, but ignore the health effects of genetics, obesity, alcohol consumption, and life stress.
His passing reminds us that health is priceless and that we should never neglect our bodies under the pretext of work and life.
Regular physical examinations, scientific diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol are seemingly simple health habits, but they are the key to preventing and controlling chronic diseases such as gout.
Everyone should take responsibility for their own health, learn to listen to the body's warnings, and take timely action to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy
In addition to grief, Wang Dahai's family and colleagues have also begun to pay more attention to their own health management. Health lectures are also held in-house, and doctors are invited to educate about the prevention of gout and other chronic diseases.
Because they know that only a healthy body can support a happy life and career success.
I hope that Wang Dahai's story can remind more people to pay attention to health, and from now on, make changes to stay away from the troubles of gout.
A healthy lifestyle is not only about being responsible for yourself, but also about caring for your family and friends. May everyone learn from this, cherish life, stay away from diseases, and live a happy and healthy life.
