What to do when white blood cells are low during pelvic cancer radiotherapy

Patient's question:

Due to vaginal bleeding, admission examination revealed pelvic cancer. The uterus and bilateral adnexa were completely removed. After surgery and radiotherapy, white blood cell counts have remained unstable. How should one handle low white blood cell counts during pelvic cancer radiotherapy?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms after radiotherapy for cervical cancer? During radiotherapy for cervical cancer, 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, appropriate 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 Su) and rare ginsenosides during radiotherapy. These can alleviate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy, promote physical recovery, and prevent recurrence and metastasis. The health products produced by Group are the best in their category.
