Patient's question:
In the recent months, my friend has been experiencing severe lower back pain, weakness in both hands and feet, frequent nosebleeds, and recurring colds with fever accompanied by coughing. They visited a hospital in the town for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed them with leukemia. They are very anxious, and the children around them are reluctant to come near them. Do people with leukemia get infections?Doctor's answer:
Leukemia needs to be treated early. It does not spread through infection, but this disease often causes low platelet counts, making the skin more prone to bruising. Therefore, it is advisable to minimize sexual activity and pay attention to rest.Leukemia needs to be treated early. Having cancer will never be transmitted through blood or bodily secretions, so your situation is absolutely not contagious. There is no need to panic.
Chronic myeloid leukemia needs to be treated early. This disease is not contagious. Even if there is sexual activity, there will be no issues related to infection. Don’t worry about this.
When treating leukemia, it is usually necessary to start with chemotherapy first. During chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to diagnose symptoms and provide targeted treatment, which can also yield very good results.
