What are the adverse reactions after chemotherapy for lung cancer? Pay attention to these three aspects

The adverse symptoms induced by chemotherapy in lung cancer patients are, first of all, gastrointestinal adverse reactions, such as decreased appetite, fatigue, abdominal distension, vomiting and nausea; secondly, it affects the patient's bone marrow hematopoietic system, resulting in low body resistance and susceptibility to infection; finally, severe hair loss will occur.

We know that lung cancer is a very harmful disease. The safest treatment for this disease is to detect it early and use surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, chemotherapy is also needed to consolidate the treatment. So, what adverse reactions will be induced after chemotherapy for lung cancer? Let's find out below!
There are still many adverse reactions after lung cancer patients receive chemotherapy. The reason is that chemotherapy is a treatment method with relatively large side effects.
1. Adverse gastrointestinal symptoms <br/>First of all, chemotherapy will cause many adverse effects on the patient's digestive system, such as some relatively strong gastrointestinal adverse reactions, including serious loss of appetite, in addition, there are nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and other adverse symptoms, and may even be accompanied by some conditions such as fatigue and weakness.
2. Impact on the bone marrow hematopoietic system <br/>In addition, chemotherapy will also have a relatively large adverse effect on the patient's bone marrow hematopoietic system. The reason is that the drugs needed for chemotherapy may cause some conditions that lead to bone marrow suppression, which in turn causes a decrease in leukocytes in the patient's body, and then induces low immune function. At this time, the patient's body will become very weak and is often prone to various infections. In this case, it is recommended that patients pay attention to personal hygiene. At the same time, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, which will help patients enhance their resistance and reduce the occurrence of infections.
3. Severe hair loss <br/>A common adverse reaction to chemotherapy is severe hair loss. However, after chemotherapy is over and the patient is in the recovery period, the adverse symptom of hair loss can usually be gradually alleviated.
To sum up, chemotherapy is a treatment with great side effects, so not all patients are suitable for chemotherapy. Be sure to follow the doctor's advice.
