Gout is suffered mainly by men though some women have been found to suffer from this disease post menopause possibly due to the reduced levels of estrogen.

Gout results when the uric acid level in the blood rises abnormally and the kidney cannot flush out the excess. This excess uric acid gets deposited in the form of sharp needle like crystals in the joints, tendons and cartilages resulting in inflammation and acute pain in the joints especially in the big toe, knees, shoulder joints, ankles, elbows and other joints in the hand.
