After chemotherapy for breast cancer, if the elevation of white blood cells is low and there is no other symptom, the patient can be followed up for observation; if the elevation is obvious, the patient should consult a doctor in time, and anti-infection treatment will be carried out if necessary.
Chemotherapy drugs can inhibit the hematopoietic function of bone marrow, which will generally lead to a decrease in white blood cells. If the white blood cells increase significantly, or accompanied by fever and other discomforts, it may be due to the decline in immunity caused by chemotherapy, and bacterial invasion may lead to infection, which should be treated with anti-infection therapy in a timely manner. At the same time, it should also be ruled out whether the white blood cell elevation is caused by the application of glucocorticoid in the process of breast cancer treatment.
If the white blood cells are mildly elevated and there are no symptoms such as fever, cough, diarrhea, frequent urination and other discomforts, the patient can be rechecked regularly.
There are many factors for the increase of white blood cells after chemotherapy, first of all, we need to determine whether the patient is combined with bacterial infection, if it is confirmed that combined with bacterial infection, we need to consult a doctor in time, and under the guidance of the doctor to carry out anti-infection treatment.
