Acute leukemia presents with a range of symptoms, including abnormal bleeding, high fever, prolonged menses, and easy bruising. In some cases, the onset of symptoms is gradual, with low-grade fever, weakness, chills, recurrent infections, or lassitude persisting for days or months before noticeable symptoms appear. Common symptoms among all types of acute leukemia include anemia, fatigue, dyspnea, palpitations, and abdominal or bone pain. Specific symptoms vary depending on the type of leukemia, such as local infections, joint pain, and abdominal fullness in AML, and night sweats, anorexia, weight loss, and shortness of breath in ALL. In advanced cases, leukemia can spread to the brain, causing central nervous system effects, or to the gums, leading to swelling, pain, and bleeding.

Ayurvedic treatment focuses on restoring balance through herbal remedies, dietary changes, and stress management techniques. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance.
