Customer question:
Can leukemia cause sudden sweating? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Leukemia, especially acute leukemia, can cause various symptoms, including sudden sweating. Sweating in leukemia can be related to several factors. Leukemia often weakens the immune system, increasing the risk of infections. A fever and associated sweating often occur as the body tries to clear the infection. Leukemia affects the normal functioning of blood cells, including those involved in the metabolic process. This condition can lead to increased body temperature and sweating.
A leukemia diagnosis and related health concerns can cause stress and anxiety, which can further affect the nervous system and trigger sweating. Leukemia affects the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. Changes in the bone marrow can thus affect the normal regulation of body temperature.
If you notice sudden sweating or other unusual symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. Early detection of leukemia and other forms of cancer is crucial for effective treatment.
