Gouty arthritis has a certain tendency to recur. Improper daily care may trigger joint pain. Failure to maintain appropriate dietary habits, prolonged overexertion, or frequent late-night activity can all contribute to recurrent gouty arthritis, leading to symptoms such as joint pain and restricted joint mobility. To prevent recurrence, timely medical evaluation and regular follow-up examinations are essential; medication should only be discontinued after the disease has been completely resolved.
