Jan 03, 2022

There is less pain during bone marrow puncture, and the discomfort is usually painful. Due to the effect of local anesthetics, most subjects can tolerate it and can recover in about 7 days. However, each person has a certain degree of tolerance and sensitivity to pain, and the degree of pain perception is different, and some people may feel more painful consciously.

Generally, the psychological pressure brought by bone marrow puncture is more obvious, especially for the first time bone marrow puncture. Excessive tension and fear can often increase the sensitivity to pain and amplify the pain during the operation. It is recommended that the examinee relax, and the current bone penetration technique is relatively mature, do not worry too much, and cooperate with the doctor.

After the bone marrow puncture, it usually takes about 7 days to rest to recover better. After the puncture, the local area undergoes adequate and moderate compression, and the local non-bleeding wound usually recovers quickly. However, this operation is an invasive examination. The patient needs to prevent infection, take care of the wound in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, pay attention to hygiene, and keep the wound clean and dry. If the wound is infected, the healing time will be prolonged accordingly, and it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time.

Bone marrow aspiration is often used to check the morphology of blood cells, and can usually assist in diagnosis, observation of therapeutic effects, and prognosis. Before injecting anesthetic drugs, a skin test is required. Patients with bleeding tendency should do a coagulation test first to determine whether they are suitable for this type of operation. For example, patients with hemophilia must not undergo bone marrow aspiration. During the examination, the patient can adopt a supine position, a side position, a sitting position or a side position, depending on the puncture site.
