Do you know what side effects chemotherapy has?

Chemotherapy often causes gastrointestinal discomfort and bone marrow suppression. In addition, hair loss and liver and kidney dysfunction are also common side effects of chemotherapy.

1, causing gastrointestinal discomfort.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite and other uncomfortable symptoms will occur.

2, lead to bone marrow suppression

Chemotherapy can also lead to bone marrow suppression, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. May lead to persistent low-grade fever and easy bleeding.

3, leading to hair loss

Hair follicle cells are active, and chemotherapy drugs may kill hair follicle cells, leading to hair loss. However, this hair loss is reversible. Generally, after chemotherapy stops, hair will grow back.

4. Impaired liver and kidney function

Some chemotherapy drugs can also damage the function of liver and kidney, and the survival time will be affected when the liver and kidney damage is serious.
