What should be done when white blood cells are low during pelvic cancer radiotherapy?

Patient's question:

I have been diagnosed with pelvic cancer and am currently undergoing treatment. During chemotherapy, my white blood cell count is particularly low. What should I do if my white blood cell count is low during pelvic cancer radiotherapy?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms after cervical cancer radiotherapy? During cervical cancer radiotherapy, patients may experience general radiation reactions such as fatigue, loss of appetite, bowel sounds, frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria. White blood cell counts may drop below 3×10^9/L or platelet counts may decrease to 7×10^10/L. For these conditions, treatments such as anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic, and blood-count-boosting medications can be administered. Additionally, it is recommended to take Chinese herbal medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (Humen) and rare ginsenosides during radiotherapy. These can help reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy, promote physical recovery, and prevent recurrence and metastasis. The health supplements produced by Group are the best in their category.
