Question
After undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital yesterday, the doctor recommended a blood test. The results showed that my platelet levels were low, and it was necessary to restore them to normal before surgery. How long does it usually take for platelet levels to recover after chemotherapy?
Answer
For such a treatment situation, the recovery time for platelet levels varies from person to person, but it is generally not very likely to recover naturally and the time is relatively long, which is not conducive to treatment. It is recommended to consider drug-assisted therapy to increase white blood cell and platelet counts. Chemotherapy can cause severe damage to white blood cells and platelets, and unless chemotherapy is stopped and platelet-increasing drugs are used, one can also supplement nutrition through the intake of high-protein and nutritious foods, such as carp, turtle, and milk.
