Patient's question:
I have an older cousin who is only 23 years old this year. He was diagnosed with leukemia after going to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor's current recommendation is for him to undergo a bone marrow aspiration. However, my cousin is feeling extremely upset. I want to know how painful the bone marrow aspiration really is?Doctor's answer:
We all know that debridement for leukemia can be quite painful. The main purpose of debridement treatment is to thoroughly remove the dirt from open wounds. Many deactivated pus or severely industrial-contaminated tissues are also removed along with the wound, which may increase local industrial contamination. Throughout this process, the patient may find it difficult to endure, but as family members, it is essential to comfort them and help them understand the treatment process.
