As a doctor, I would like to remind patients that the following 6 types may occur after chemotherapy
1.Fatigue.
After chemotherapy, patients may experience fatigue, which is one of the most common***. The patient's physical strength can be greatly affected, causing them to be unable to perform normal activities. This fatigue usually gradually lessens after chemotherapy ends, but it may take a while to fully recover.
2.Nausea and vomiting.
After chemotherapy, patients may experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting because chemotherapy drugs irritate the gastrointestinal tract. These symptoms usually go away after chemotherapy ends, but some medications can also be used to relieve symptoms.
3.Hair loss.
Chemotherapy drugs may destroy the patient's hair follicle cells, causing hair loss. This condition usually resolves gradually after chemotherapy ends, but some patients may experience permanent hair loss.
4.Canker sores.
Chemotherapy drugs may irritate the oral mucosa, causing mouth sores. Patients need to pay attention to oral hygiene and use some oral cleaning medications to relieve symptoms.
5.Bone marrow suppression.
Chemotherapy drugs may suppress bone marrow function in patients, leading to a decrease in white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This may increase the risk of infection in the patient, so the patient needs to have regular blood tests.
6.Cardiotoxicity.
Certain chemotherapy drugs can cause damage to the heart, leading to cardiotoxicity. Patients need an electrocardiogram to ensure that the heart is functioning properly.
In conclusion, there may be a variety of *** patients who need to be prepared and pay attention to their physical condition after chemotherapy. If you experience any discomfort, please consult your doctor promptly and proceed**.
