Bone piercing is the most basic diagnostic technique in hematology department. It's also necessary. "Bone piercing" is used for diagnostic purposes. A needle is inserted into the bone marrow cavity and a small amount of bone marrow is extracted for testing. Some patients mistakenly believe that the marrow fluid extracted by bone marrow aspiration will damage the essence and vitality of the human body, so they are not willing to carry out the examination. In fact, the marrow fluid required by bone marrow aspiration is very small, generally about 0.1ml, while the total amount of normal bone marrow fluid in the human body is about 2600ml. It can be seen that the marrow fluid extracted during bone marrow aspiration examination is insignificant compared with the total amount of human body. In addition, the body is constantly regenerating a large number of cells every day. In addition, patients often think that bone marrow aspiration is painful and scary, which is unnecessary. "Bone piercing" is not dangerous and does not leave any after-effects. Some diseases, especially blood diseases, are difficult to diagnose without this test. If the disease needs, should not hesitate to do it, even if the bone marrow does not have any lesions, is also a big gain, because the exclusion of blood diseases can not only eliminate the mental burden, but also can eliminate the pain and possible side effects of unnecessary treatment for patients and their families, and has no impact on children.
