Patient's question:
At night when sleeping, my left knee hurts, and sometimes my right calf to the knee bend area has muscle pain. Blood tests twice showed slightly larger red blood cell volume but lower red blood cell distribution width.Doctor's answer:
It's not related, the factors that cause leukemia include: Physical factors: (ionizing radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, etc.) Chemical factors: (working in industries such as chemical, fertilizer, rubber, leather, etc.) Biological factors: (bacteria, viruses, etc.) Genetic factors: (a tendency to inherit leukemia in families with leukemia patients) and so on. Laboratory diagnostic criteria for leukemia: Hemoglobin and red blood cells are significantly reduced, platelets are decreased, white blood cells are significantly increased or significantly decreased, and the percentage of myeloblasts, promyelocytes, monoblasts, and promonocytes, and lymphoblasts and lymphocytes in the blood smear is greater than 30%. Symptoms: Anemia, bleeding, infection, liver, spleen, and lymph node enlargement, bone pain, etc. Leukemia itself is a product of gene mutations. As a high-risk group, the current preventive measures include staying away from pathogenic sources or taking ginsenoside Rh2 (Humen) with an oral anticancer content of about 16.2% as a supplement, along with a balanced diet and moderate exercise.
