Is it possible to have children again if you have aplastic anemia?

Aplastic anemia mainly refers to the overall decrease in the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow. A small number of red blood cells can easily lead to anemia, a small number of platelets can easily lead to bleeding, and a small number of white blood cells can lead to infection. Therefore, the lack of blood will have a huge impact on patients with aplastic anemia, so many people believe that patients are infertile. So, is it still possible for patients with aplastic anemia to have children?

Fertile.

Aplastic anemia is a bone marrow hematopoietic failure disease that seriously threatens the health of children. Children often have clinical symptoms such as anemia, bleeding and infection. Laboratory tests show a decrease in red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets (pancytopenia) and bone marrow failure.

In the past, aplastic anemia was considered an incurable disease and patients could only rely on blood transfusions to maintain their lives. Studies have found that the hematopoietic microenvironment function of patients with aplastic anemia is basically normal, but the serum negative hematopoietic regulatory factors are too high, while the positive hematopoietic regulatory factors are relatively insufficient. The T lymphocyte function is abnormally activated, and a large amount of negative hematopoietic regulatory factors are secreted, which inhibit hematopoiesis and lead to hematopoietic failure. Therefore, it is believed that aplastic anemia is a hematopoietic failure caused by hyperfunction of T cells and is an immune disease. Since the human immune system must be suppressed during the treatment of aplastic anemia, this increases the risk of infection in patients with aplastic anemia, and infection is precisely the primary cause of early death in patients with aplastic anemia.

Currently, the most effective method for treating aplastic anemia in children is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is effective in treating aplastic anemia in children, and its therapeutic effects have been well received by many parents of sick children. In particular, aplastic anemia is common in children, and pediatric stem cell transplantation has been studied in depth and has achieved good results in clinical practice. The so-called hematopoietic stem cell transplantation refers to blocking the pathogenesis of the primary disease through high-dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy, such as killing tumor cells in the body, clearing abnormal immune cell clones, etc., and then injecting healthy hematopoietic stem cells into the patient's body to enable it to grow normal tissue cells and functional cells, rebuild the recipient's normal hematopoietic and immune systems, reshape the body's functions, and achieve the purpose of cure.

What everyone needs to pay attention to is that once the patient is diagnosed, he or she needs to go to the hospital for treatment in time, so that the disease can be better treated. Patients with aplastic anemia also need to pay more attention to their diet and not eat too much spicy and greasy food, otherwise it will have a great impact, so friends must pay more attention and not delay the disease.
