What to do if you have simple thrombocytopenia

It is well known that the number of platelets is an important indicator to measure the health of blood. If the number of platelets is too low, it may affect a person's health and may even be a precursor to thrombocytopenia or other blood diseases. In short, if thrombocytopenia is found during a physical examination, it should be taken seriously. In addition, what tests should be done if simple thrombocytopenia occurs? Let’s learn about the relevant common sense issues together.

In a normal person's blood, the number of platelets per cubic millimeter remains at around 100,000 to 300,000. If a person's platelet count falls below 100,000 per cubic millimeter of blood, they may have a condition called thrombocytopenia.

Nowadays, thrombocytopenia has become one of the common diseases that seriously damages human blood health. The disease causes great harm to the human body. Hospital experts point out that if it cannot be cured in time, it will induce other diseases and eventually endanger the patient's life and health.

Symptoms of thrombocytopenia

1. Clinically, the appearance of anemia symptoms is an important manifestation of thrombocytopenia. However, due to different pathogenic factors of patients, the anemia conditions of patients are also different, which are generally divided into acute and subacute types. Acute mainly refers to diseases such as leukemia, aplastic anemia and acute intravascular hemolysis; subacute mainly refers to common diseases such as acute aplastic anemia, cellular anemia and autoimmune anemia.

2. When suffering from thrombocytopenia, patients will often experience bleeding symptoms. This symptom mainly occurs on the surface of the patient's skin. Generally, large bruises can be clearly seen. In addition, some patients may also experience bleeding symptoms in the gums, nose, mouth, etc. In severe cases, the patient's digestive tract and internal organs may also experience bleeding symptoms.

3. Fever and pale face are also symptoms of thrombocytopenia. This is mainly due to the gradual decline in the patient's resistance, making them susceptible to infection. Clinically, patients often experience symptoms such as fever, pale complexion, and general fatigue. In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms such as digestive tract infection and urinary tract infection.
