In my country, childhood leukemia accounts for one-third of the number of children's tumor diseases, and the number of children's leukemia accounts for 60% of the total number of leukemia .
It can be said that children are also a high-incidence of leukemia. The harm of leukemia is quite great to our body, and it is also what we often call leukemia .
However, early detection, early diagnosis and treatment of leukemia can improve the cure rate. Therefore, you must understand the early symptoms of leukemia in advance. Once four symptoms are found, you must not delay and seek medical treatment in time.
Why are children prone to leukemia?
Children are prone to leukemia, especially those who are prone to acute lymphocytic leukemia . Children suffer from acute lymphocytic leukemia account for more than 90% of all malignant tumors in children.
Children are prone to acute lymphocytic leukemia mainly due to the interaction between external factors and internal factors. The internal factor is that children have immature developmental levels and poor stability during the growth and development period, and are prone to genetic mutations in their bodies, which ultimately leads to the occurrence of acute lymphocytic leukemia.
External factors include physical factors, chemical factors, etc., among which physical factors include various rays, various radionuclides , etc. If a child's DNA is damaged by radionuclides or rays, it is easy to cause gene breakage or mutation, and eventually it is easy to induce the occurrence of acute leukemia .
In addition, chemical factors include various toxic gases, formaldehyde , benzene oil, paint, etc., which can easily damage children's DNA and eventually induce acute leukemia.
How does leukemia come about?
, physical and chemical factors
In real life, some chemical factors and physical factors may induce the emergence of leukemia. For example, if a child with hypertrophy receives radiation therapy, the chance of leukemia will rise significantly. If a pregnant woman is exposed to X-rays during pregnancy, the chance of leukemia will increase significantly after the birth of the newborn.
In addition, some benzene and its derivatives and cytotoxic drugs, these drug factors, can also cause children to suffer from leukemia.
, genetic factors
The occurrence of leukemia is not only acquired factors, but also congenital factors. If there are genetic factors, the child's chance of developing leukemia will increase significantly.
In real life, some congenital bone marrow failure diseases, including Fanconi anemia and congenital testicular hypoplasia, as well as Down syndrome , and severe combined immunodeficiency diseases, etc., will cause children to double the chance of leukemia.
In addition, if one of the fetus is infected with leukemia, the chance of the other child suffering from leukemia will often increase by more than 20%. Compared with fraternal twins , the chance of leukemia is often 12 times higher.
, virus infection
According to years of research, the T lymphocytic leukemia virus can induce the emergence of leukemia, so parents must keep their children away from this virus.
, chemical drugs
For chemical poisons, the most commonly recognized thing is benzene, including antidiarrhea drugs, and decorations contain some radioactive factors, which will lead to the occurrence of blood cases.
. Related to certain viruses
In addition, viruses are also rare to integrate into genetic materials, resulting in gene mutations. In fact, under normal circumstances, there are carcinogenic genes in the body and cancer suppressing genes.
. Unhealthy diet
Nowadays, the environmental pollution is serious. Many processed food preservatives, various additives, and sugars have accumulated in the body over the years, which will lead to an increase in toxins in the body and may induce leukemia. Especially for children to eat less packaged food, drink less carbonated beverages, and eat more ecological, organic, and pollution-free vegetables and fruits.
. High mental stress
Too much work and life pressure will lead to endocrine disorders in the human body and may induce leukemia.
If you find that children have these 4 phenomena, please pay attention as soon as possible
. Repeated infection and fever
Once leukemia occurs, the number of leukemia in the body will increase significantly, and abnormal cells will directly replace normal leukocytes.
When the number of white blood cells in the body gradually decreases, the immune function will gradually decline, resulting in frequent repeated colds and fevers.
If you find that your child always has an unknown fever or a cold, even after taking the medicine, it will not have any effect, then you should be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination in time.
, unexplained painless swelling
Leukemia cells are malignant hyperplasia in the bone marrow. This cell will slowly infiltrate into other organs and tissues. Therefore, patients may experience inexplicable enlargement in a certain part of the body, such as combinatorial lymph node enlargement and hepatosplenomegaly .
If the child always experiences pain in the liver area of the upper right abdomen and spleen area of the upper left abdomen, and there is always tenderness at the lower end of the sternum, parents should actually observe carefully to see if the body has swollen and if it needs timely treatment.
, anemia
anemia is one of the early symptoms of leukemia. If the child has pale face, thin body, prone to night sweats, his heartbeats will accelerate without strenuous exercise and panting, then it is very likely that he is leukemia. The longer the time, the more obvious the symptoms will be. If the child has these symptoms, parents should pay attention and may as well take the child to the hospital for examination in detail.
. No signs of bleeding
If a small scratched wound appears on the surface of the skin or the skin is damaged, it will be accompanied by bleeding. However, if you find that the child always has signs of bleeding within a period of time, you must pay more attention, as it may be related to leukemia.
is a common phenomenon, such as nosebleed bleeding gums . In addition, you should also observe whether there is bruising on the child's skin surface.
If you want to prevent leukemia, give your children less these fruits!
, ripening fruits
Nowadays, there are many off-season fruits on the market. Most off-season fruits are grown and cultivated in greenhouses. It is relatively costly. Many bad merchants will use industrial ripening methods to ripen the fruits in order to earn profits.
. The ripening agent has certain industrial components. If eaten frequently for children, premature puberty will increase the risk of disease, and it will also easily cause leukemia.
, bright orange
Some bad merchants will apply a layer of dye on the surface of the orange in order to make the appearance of the orange more vivid. These dyes are not produced by regular manufacturers and may contain toxic substances, metals and formaldehyde.
These harmful substances will invade the inner flesh of the orange. Even if the skin is peeled off, being eaten by the child will cause the body to decrease immunity.
, off-season fruit
counterattack fruit is a fruit that should not have appeared in the current season, but greenhouse planting is not ruled out, and there is no excessive safety hazard, but it is not ruled out that black-hearted merchants spray preservatives and preservatives on the surface of the fruit.
Choose to use seasonal fruits as much as possible, which is safer and more secure.
