Declining blood cells after chemotherapy is one of the most common side effects, mainly in the form of reduction of white cells (reduced moderately), reduction of slabs and anaemia. These situations need to be addressed in a timely and appropriate manner to reduce the risk of infection, haemorrhage and other complications. The following are some of the measures taken to deal with the reduction of blood cells after chemotherapy:
1. Close monitoring
Regular blood testing
During chemotherapy and after chemotherapy, patients are regularly subjected to regular blood tests to monitor the number of blood cells. This helps to detect blood cell reductions in a timely manner.
b. Pay attention to symptoms
Patients should pay close attention to any possible symptoms such as fever, fatigue, haemorrhage, etc., and report to a doctor in a timely manner.
2. Drug treatment
a. White cell growth factors
For severe white cell reduction, white cell growth factors (e.g. G-CSF) can be used to stimulate white cell generation.
b. Molybdenum.
For anaemia, erythrocytes (EPO) can be used to promote erythrocytes.
c. Bleeding panels
In cases where the count of slabs is very low, the infusion plate may be required to prevent or treat haemorrhage.
3. Preventive antibiotics and antivirals
a. Prevention of infection
In the case of patients with a reduction in the number of neutral particles, a doctor may introduce prophylactic antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.
b. Prevention of viral infections
In some cases, antivirals may be needed to prevent viral infections, especially for patients with impaired immune systems.
4. Lifestyle adjustments
a. Avoiding crowd-intensive locations
Reduce access to densely populated areas to reduce the risk of infection.
b. Healthy diets
Maintain a balanced diet and adequate intake of protein and vitamins, especially food rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, to support the immune system.
c. Adequate rest
(b) Guarantee adequate rest and avoid overwork.
5. Personal hygiene
a. Hand-washing
Hand washing is frequent, especially after exposure to objects in public places.
b. Avoiding contact with the sick
To minimize exposure to infectious diseases such as flu and flu.
6. Supportive treatment
a. Blood transfusion
For severe anaemia, blood transfusions may be required to increase haemoglobin levels.
b. Supplementary nutrition
Additional nutritional supplements, such as iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 may be required to support blood cell generation.
7. Communication and psychological support
a. Communication with doctors
Close communication with doctors on treatment programmes and possible side effects.
b. Joining support groups
Join cancer support groups, exchange experiences with other patients, and receive emotional and psychological support.
8. Compliance with medical orders
a. On time
Drugs are taken strictly in accordance with medical instructions, and do not stop or alter the dose.
b. Compliance with treatment plans
Following the treatment plan established by the doctor, including the chemotherapy cycle and blood cell examination.
9. Care for complications
a. Monitoring body temperature
Regular monitoring of body temperature and timely detection of possible signs of infection.
b. Watch out for signs of haemorrhage
Note any signs of haemorrhage, such as skin bruising, nose bleeding or tooth bleeding.
Concluding remarks
The reduction of blood cells after chemotherapy can be managed in many ways. The key is early identification, timely intervention and comprehensive care. Patients and medical teams need to work together to reduce the risk of blood cell reduction and to ensure that chemotherapy is carried out. Effective management not only reduces the suffering of patients, but also improves the effectiveness and quality of life of chemotherapy. Patients should maintain a positive attitude, follow medical advice and maintain good communication with the medical team to address the challenges posed by chemotherapy.
