Local infiltration anesthesia will be administered before the bone marrow aspiration, and there will be slight pain, but it is within the normal range that most people can tolerate.
Bone marrow aspiration is a commonly used diagnostic technique to collect bone marrow fluid in clinic, which is mainly used for diagnosis, differential diagnosis, efficacy evaluation and prognosis judgment of various blood disorders, and also for detection of certain parasitic infections, such as malaria, black fever, and so on.
The common sites for bone marrow aspiration are anterior superior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, sternal pedicle and lumbar vertebral spinous processes. Before performing the procedure, local infiltration anesthesia is usually performed, and a slight pain may be felt at this time, and when bone marrow fluid is extracted subsequently, there is usually a slight soreness and pain, but the amount of bone marrow fluid extracted is small, and these symptoms can be relieved after resting.
Bone marrow aspiration, as a common clinical invasive operation, has less impact and damage, and the pain is within the tolerable range of most people, so it is recommended not to be too nervous and actively cooperate with the doctor. The specific operation is carried out by a licensed physician.
