1. What is a bone marrow transplant?
Bone marrow transplant is replacing defective, diseased or damaged bone marrow with blood stem cells that reach the bone marrow to replace dysfunctional stem cells.
2. How is a bone marrow transplant done?
Bone marrow transplant is done with blood stem cells either harvested from a patient's body, a donor or stem cell bank. These cells are injected with the help of a needle-shaped catheter in the upper right portion of the chest from where these stem cells directly reach the heart and are distributed to the whole body.
3. How long does the bone transplant surgery last for?
A bone marrow transplant surgery takes about 10 to 28 days to complete after the initial transplant or grafting.
4. Is it possible to increase the bone marrow naturally?
Eating a diet rich in proteins, iron and vitamin B helps strengthen bone marrow and work efficiently.
5. How much time does it take to recover after a bone marrow transplant surgery?
Three months is the time for recovery from bone marrow transplant. However, in some cases, the symptoms may last for one year or more. The recovery time is dependent on a match with the donor, place of transplant treatment, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc.
