Women who suffer from gout typically experience it most often during menopause. This is because of the changes that are going on throughout their bodies in terms of their hormonal balance. This can be incredibly frustrating, however, often when gout strikes during this time of life it is not based greatly on lifestyle or consuming the wrong foods. Nor, does it tend to stick around for a long time. It is important to note, that often one's genetics play a large role in whether or not you will be diagnosed with gout. Some doctors claim that a person’s family history of gout may increase their risk for developing it.
