Why is leukemia prevalent and what should we do

1、 Don't fall into the misconception: staying up late is not the main reason

In recent years, the incidence rate of leukemia has increased, and the proportion of young people suffering from leukemia has increased. But doctors emphasize that although staying up late affects health, it is not the main factor that triggers leukemia. What really needs to be taken seriously are the following four types of risks.

2、 4 core triggers to be wary of

1. Chemical Substance Invasion: Decoration materials, hair dyes, insecticides, and other harmful substances containing benzene, formaldehyde, etc. can damage bone marrow hematopoietic function. If the ventilation of newly renovated houses is insufficient and volatile substances accumulate for a long time, the risk is higher.
2. Radiation exposure risk: Medical examinations such as X-rays and CT scans, as well as ionizing radiation in environments such as nuclear radiation, are recognized triggers, and long-term exposure can increase the risk of illness.
3. Impact of viral infection: EB virus, human T lymphocyte virus (HTLV-1), etc. can invade immunocompromised individuals, interfere with the hematopoietic system, and induce leukemia.
4. Genetic susceptibility : Leukemia is an atypical genetic disease, but individuals with a family history of the disease have a higher risk of developing the disease due to carrying related gene mutations.

3、 4 preventive measures to safeguard health

1. Reduce chemical exposure : Choose environmentally friendly decoration materials, ventilate for 3-6 months before moving in; Reduce the use of daily chemical products containing benzene and formaldehyde.
2. Avoid unnecessary radiation : Reduce frequent medical imaging examinations and take necessary protective measures.
3. Enhance immunity : Balanced diet, regular exercise, reduce the risk of viral infection.
4. Regular health monitoring : For those with a family history, regular blood routine tests should be conducted to detect and intervene early.
