Symptoms of Leukemia

Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. The most common symptoms of leukemia are:

- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or weak, even with adequate rest.

- Fever: A fever or low-grade fever that does not go away.

- Night sweats: Sweating excessively during the night.

- Weight loss: Unexplained weight loss.

- Pain: Pain in the bones or joints.

- Bleeding: Bleeding or bruising easily.

- Frequent infections: Frequent or recurrent infections.

Diagnosing Leukemia

If any of the above symptoms are present, a doctor should be consulted to determine if further testing is necessary. Diagnosing leukemia typically involves a combination of physical examination, blood tests, bone marrow tests, and imaging tests, such as X-rays or CT scans.
