What causes low white blood cell count in women?

Health has always been the most important thing for everyone. Without a healthy body, everyone’s work and life will be seriously affected. But the reality is that many of us will face times when we are in poor health. Now many women have low white blood cell counts. So, what is the reason for low white blood cell counts in women? For some reasons why women have low white blood cell count, let’s take a look at the following introduction.

When the white blood cell count in peripheral blood is persistently below 4.0×109/L, it is called leukocytopenia. Since the main components of white blood cells are neutrophils and lymphocytes, especially neutrophils, in most cases, leukopenia is caused by neutrophilia. When the neutrophil count is lower than (1.5-1.8)×109/L, it is called neutropenia.

The leukocytopenia symptom group is a disease caused by unknown reasons and secondary to other diseases. It is divided into two categories: primary and secondary. The cause of primary disease is unknown; the cause of secondary disease is believed to be acute infection, physical and chemical factors, blood system diseases, diseases with splenomegaly, connective tissue diseases, allergic diseases, hereditary diseases, acquired or unexplained neutropenia, etc.

Its etiology and pathogenesis can be divided into the following three aspects according to cell dynamics:

① Leukocyte production disorders, including decreased proliferation or aplastic disorders of stem cells.

② Excessive destruction of white blood cells. Due to infection and immunological factors, excessive destruction of white blood cells leads to a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the peripheral blood.

③ Abnormal granulocyte distribution. Due to various reasons, the number of white blood cells in the marginal pool increases, while the number of white blood cells in the circulating pool decreases, which can also lead to leukocytopenia. Leukocytopenia patients do not have many subjective symptoms, with fatigue and dizziness being the most common. In addition, they also have loss of appetite, sore limbs, insomnia, low fever, chills, back pain, palpitations, etc. These symptoms are often ignored by doctors and patients and diagnosed as other diseases. At this time, the total white blood cell count must be checked repeatedly. If it continues to be lower than 4.0×109/hour, it can be diagnosed as leukocytopenia. Leukopenia: In addition to treating the cause, the appropriate treatment plan should be selected according to different patients and the pathogenesis.

What causes low white blood cell count in women? We have already introduced a lot about some situations of low white blood cell count in women. I hope everyone will pay attention to this issue. There are many reasons for low white blood cell count. Scientific diagnostic methods are needed to find out the cause, and then more scientific methods should be adopted to carry out active treatment.
