Side effects of bone marrow puncture

When the bone marrow is diseased, it is often not possible to determine the condition well through X-rays or other testing methods. At this time, doctors will recommend patients to undergo a bone marrow puncture to confirm the condition. Although bone marrow puncture can effectively determine the patient's bone marrow disease condition, it also has certain risks and is not necessarily safe. Therefore, before choosing bone marrow puncture, patients must understand the side effects of bone marrow puncture.

1. Bone marrow necrosis

During illness, many blood cells in the body will die in large numbers. At this time, the bone marrow fluid is very thin, and during the puncture process, it will be impossible to diagnose the cause of the disease, and thus the condition of the disease cannot be found. Therefore, as blood cells die, the bone marrow in the body will die, threatening human health. But this situation is very rare, almost one in a thousand chance, so there is no need to be too scared.

2. Local bleeding

Since a bone marrow puncture needle is used for extraction during the operation, it may come into contact with other parts of the body, causing puncture of other parts and bleeding, which may endanger one's health. Therefore, there is a certain degree of risk during the operation.

3. Partial infection

Under normal circumstances, infection will not occur. However, if the doctor is damaged by bacteria during the operation and the bacteria are carried into the human body, the bacteria will multiply in the body and then cause infection. Therefore, during the operation, you must pay attention to your environment and postoperative recovery.

The above is my brief summary of the side effects after bone marrow puncture. I believe it has provided some medical knowledge to the general public.
