5. Unexplained Bleeding – A Critical Warning Sign
Unexplained bleeding is a serious symptom. It can manifest as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or bruises. This symptom indicates a critical level of immune system impairment.
Such bleeding episodes, especially when unprovoked, are a major concern. They require immediate medical attention. They signal that the body’s ability to clot and fight infections is severely compromised.
Unexplained bleeding can lead to further complications. It can exacerbate weakness and contribute to a general decline in health. In agranulocytosis, these bleeding episodes can be life-threatening.
Managing this symptom involves more than just controlling the bleeding. It requires comprehensive medical care. Treatment focuses on restoring the white blood cell count and managing the underlying causes. (5)
