Symptoms of Leukemia in Children

Symptoms of Leukemia in Children
Blood cancer or leukemia can affect anyone, irrespective of age. Leukemia is a type of cancer most often found in children.
'Scene' of the leukemia was in the bone marrow. Ago, and a naturally ask anyway, in which the bone marrow?
Just imagine when eating a chicken leg. Once the meat is gone, his bones were broken, and the center of our bones suction.
The part that sucked it was called the bone marrow.
Bone marrow is the factory of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (Ieukosit), and platelets (thrombocytes). As a simple illustration, the bone marrow can be identified with an area of ​​such plant
Problems begin to arise when the "employee" in the factory leukocytes demonstrated by anarchists. They prohibit the factory production. As a result, levels of leukocytes in the blood becomes low. Not content to demonstrate in its own plants, plant them into erythrocytes and platelets. Similarly, it prohibits that both plants do not produce. As a result, levels of erythrocytes and platelets in the blood become too low.
Still not satisfied demonstrated in the factory, the "employee" is out and explore other areas to spread everywhere, including to the brain, gums, skin, bone, liver, spleen, and testis.
If levels of erythrocytes in the blood is low, then the child will look pale. In addition, children often experience fever without a known cause is due to levels of leukocytes in the blood are too low and bleeding, like bleeding skin, gums, or nosebleeds due to levels of platelets in the blood are low.
When children have all three of these symptoms or at least two of them, a child could suspected leukemia. In addition to the above symptoms, other symptoms can also be found as a result of the spread of cancer cells to other organs in the body.
Other symptoms include seizures, swelling of the gums, bone pain, stomach look bigger, and testis appears enlarged and hard.
When parents see the hat of the above, immediately take the child to the doctor to confirm whether the symptoms experienced can be categorized as a sign of developing leukemia. If not, of course we are grateful. However, if it is true that the symptoms are found to lead to leukemia, it still should be grateful. Because it means the leukemia in children was found in an early state.
The earlier and the sooner a child with cancer treated, the greater the possibility of recovering the child. Thus, it is important for parents to be aware of symptoms of cancer in children from an early age, especially leukemia.

In Public Health examination can also be done using a tool called ophtalmoscope. A tool to view the inside of the child's eyes examined.

Retinoblastoma occurs in children aged under five. In the process of examination, the child is usually asked to sit on the lap of his mother. Meanwhile, the examiner was not far from the front merja.

When the eyes of a child in a normal condition, the examiner, via ophthalmoscope tools, will see the red reflection of the child's eyes.

Instead, the examiner will encourage parents to bring their children to health facilities is more complete when through the tool, the examiner did not see the red reflection from the eyes of the child. Or there is the reflection of a red color, but the child's eyes examined cross-eyed. Therefore, it is important for the examiner to determine whether previous cross-eyed child in question or not.
