Will thyroid cancer cause low white blood cell count?

The white blood cell count of patients with thyroid cancer may or may not be low, which is usually related to factors such as the patient's immunity and condition. When the patient feels unwell, he should seek medical attention in time and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Immunity: Generally speaking, patients with thyroid cancer will have a decline in immunity, because thyroid cancer is a wasting disease that consumes a lot of energy in the body, resulting in a decline in the patient's resistance, resulting in low white blood cell counts. Therefore, patients with thyroid cancer usually have low white blood cell counts. It is recommended that patients with thyroid cancer should pay more attention to rest, get enough sleep, and eat more nutritious foods to supplement the nutrients needed by the body and help relieve symptoms;

2. Condition: Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor. If the patient has lymph node metastasis, it may cause lymphatic reflux obstruction. When the lung metastasis occurs, it may affect the respiratory function of the lungs, causing the patient to have difficulty breathing, resulting in hypoxia and low white blood cell count. Therefore, thyroid cancer patients generally have low white blood cell counts. At this time, the patient needs to go to the hospital for examination in time, undergo surgical resection under the guidance of a doctor, and make corresponding improvements based on the results of the pathological examination in combination with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc.

3. Others: Since chemotherapy or radiotherapy for thyroid cancer patients will produce certain side effects on the body, which will cause low immunity and make them more susceptible to bacterial infection or anemia, thyroid cancer patients usually have low white blood cells. At this time, patients need to pay attention to personal hygiene, change and wash underwear frequently, and maintain good living habits to relieve symptoms;

4. Others: If thyroid cancer patients have other infectious diseases, such as hepatitis, colds, etc., low white blood cell count may occur. It is recommended that patients take amoxicillin capsules, Ganmaoling granules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
