Chemotherapy drugs work by inhibiting the growth and growth of cancer cells, but these drugs can also affect the growth and growth of normal cells, resulting in a lower number of white blood cells. Low white blood cells will reduce the patient's immunity, and he will be easily infected with pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, and will have symptoms such as fever, cough, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can lead to complications such as pneumonia and heart disease, affecting the patient's ** and quality of life.
The method of chemotherapy for leukopenia is as follows:
1.Medications**: The doctor will prescribe the appropriate leukocyte raising drugs according to the specific situation of the patient, such as recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, etc. These drugs can promote the growth of white blood cells and increase the number of white blood cells.
2.Nutritional support: patients should maintain a good diet and increase their nutritional intake, especially protein, vitamins, and minerals. At the same time, avoid excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise so as not to increase the burden on the body.
3.Regular surveillance: Patients should have regular routine blood tests to monitor changes in the number of white blood cells. If you notice a persistent drop in the number of white blood cells or symptoms such as fever, you should seek medical attention.
