Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. I'm wondering if having leukemia would cause hair loss?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukemia will never cause hair loss, but the side effects of chemotherapy drugs can lead to hair loss. Currently, the child has been confirmed to have leukemia and needs a bone marrow puncture for a thorough examination to confirm whether it is acute, chronic, or what type of leukemia. Different types require different chemotherapy drugs. The common symptoms of leukemia mainly include fever, anemia, and symptoms of infection and broken skin. So let's wait and see first.
