Anemia after chemotherapy is mainly due to the inhibition and killing effect of chemotherapeutic drugs on bone marrow hematopoietic cells, resulting in anemia caused by the reduction of red blood cells. Chemotherapy anemia recovery is slow, if it is a severe anemia, you can use drug treatment or blood product transfusion, if it is a mild to moderate anemia can be supplemented by dietary supplements such as protein, iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 and other raw materials for blood production to replenish blood.
1. In case of severe anemia, drugs such as iron nitrite can be taken orally under doctor’s guidance to correct the anemia, or blood products such as suspended red blood cells can be transfused in time.
2. In the case of mild to moderate anemia, food can assist in the recovery of red blood cells to a certain extent. You can provide raw materials for hematopoiesis by consuming foods containing high-quality proteins such as eggs, milk, beans, etc., as well as foods containing folic acid and vitamin B12 such as carrots, pig liver and lean meat.
If symptoms of anemia appear after chemotherapy, you should report to your doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
