Patient's question:
My friend has some doubts about her friend's father being diagnosed with leukemia, a type of malignant tumor. He is a doctor, but her friend refuses to do a full-body check-up. Her friend is also unclear whether he really has it or not. Basically, he sometimes feels dizzy in the head, sometimes has a sensation of falling, doesn't eat, sweats more, sometimes has a pale complexion, feels weak all over, and has knee pain. What are the symptoms of leukemia, this type of malignant tumor?Doctor's answer:
The typical symptoms of leukemia, this type of malignant tumor, include fever, infection, skin breakdown, anemia, bone and joint pain, and enlargement of the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as fatigue, low-grade fever, excessive sweating or thirst, and weight loss may reappear. Due to splenomegaly, there may be a sense of fullness and distension in the left upper abdomen, as well as postprandial fullness. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal hospital as soon as possible for follow-up, undergo relevant examinations and tests to clarify the condition, and then provide active additional treatment. Daily care should focus on enhancing patient care, balancing rest and activity, and avoiding overexertion. Pay attention to moderate warmth prevention to avoid catching colds, nasal congestion, etc.
