What to do if platelet count is low after radiotherapy

Patients who need radiotherapy need regular checkups. Because radiotherapy can easily affect changes in other organs and related indicators of the patient's body. Only timely examination can make adjustments to the treatment plan. What should I do if the patient has low platelets after chemotherapy? As we all know, platelets have the effect of coagulation and hemostasis. If you encounter thrombocytopenia, you should take dietary therapy in time.

The test results of radiotherapy and chemotherapy showed low platelet count, indicating that the patient's blood coagulation and hemostasis function was damaged.

At the same time, platelets can maintain the integrity of the capillary walls. If the number of platelets decreases significantly, it will affect the patient's normal life.

Folk remedy: Three red soup, which is made by boiling red dates, brown sugar and red peel together, can increase the number of platelets in the body. Pay attention to improving nutrition in your daily diet, eat more lean meat, fish, milk and soy products, etc.; choose foods rich in iron such as animal liver, pork liver, goose liver, duck liver; vegetables such as spinach, celery and tomatoes, etc. Fresh fruits such as apricots, peaches, pears, grapes, red dates, pineapples and figs can replenish blood and nourish qi.

Both radiotherapy and chemotherapy have certain side effects. Common reactions include gastrointestinal reactions, nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, etc.; bone marrow suppression reactions, such as decreased white blood cell count and low platelet count.

Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning: Western medicine (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) treatment only treats the symptoms and not the root cause and has significant side effects, which reduces the patient's quality of life. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning can fundamentally strengthen the body's constitution, enhance the patient's resistance and immunity, and enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Currently, the more mature traditional Chinese medicine research includes de-walled Ganoderma lucidum spore powder.

If the patient shows low platelet count, he can eat more red dates. The vitamin A, iron and other elements contained in red dates can nourish yin and blood, and effectively increase the patient's platelet count. Common recipes for red dates diet therapy include:
