The NHS says there has been a sudden increase in admissions for a severe Victorian disease. Four warning signs are being highlighted as crucial to spotting signs of gout.
About 1.5 million UK people are affected by the condition. It is a type of arthritis that causes extreme joint pain, the Mirror reports.
NHS data shows that around 250,000 people have been admitted to hospital with gout over 2021-22. And cases have risen by 20 percent in the last three years. Earlier this year, Britons were told cases of Victorian illnesses had reached a five-year high, the Mail reports.
