FAQ's For Thrombocytopenia

Thrombocytopenia causes low platelet count in the body. Milder forms of the condition will not show any immediate symptoms. However if severe, it can cause spontaneous bleeding of the eyes, gums and bladder. It also causes prolonged bleeding from cuts, and a rash-like bruise called purpura on the legs.

Low platelet count can be caused by one of three processes: Trapped platelets (enlarged spleen due to a number of conditions), decreased platelet production (due to conditions like anaemia, Hepatitis C, HIV, chemotherapy drugs, radiation therapy, heavy alcohol consumption, leukemia, and other types of cancer), and increased breakdown of platelets (due to factors like pregnancy, immune thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, bacteria in the blood, haemolytic uremic syndrome, and certain medications such as heparin, quinine, sulfa-containing antibiotics and anticonvulsants).

Thrombocytopenia is curable with treatement. Depending int he severity, doctors may suggest transfusions, medication, surgery, or plasma exchange.

Symptoms of low platelets include: Purpura (Easy or excessive bruising)
Enlarged spleen
Superficial bleeding into the skin that appears as pinpoint-sized reddish-purple spots (petechiae), usually on the calves
Prolonged bleeding from cuts
Bleeding from the gums or nose
Unusually heavy menstrual flows
Blood in urine or stools
Fatigue

Platelet counts usually come back to normal within 2 weeks.

Thrombocytopenia is a condition which causes low blood platelet count in the body. Platelets or thrombocytes are blood cells that help with clotting. If the body faces injury in the form of an open wound, platelets work to form a clot and thus prevent blood loss.

Thrombocytopenia causes include one of three types of processes:

Trapped platelets: The spleen is an organ on the left side if the abdomen which gets rid of unwanted materials in the blood and helps the body fight infections. Due to a number of disorders, the spleen can enlarge, trapping platelets and lowering the number of platelets in circulation throughout the body.

Decreased platelet production: Platelets are produced in bone marrow. Conditions like anaemia, Hepatitis C, HIV, chemotherapy drugs, radiation therapy, heavy alcohol consumption, leukemia, and other types of cancer can cause low platelet levels and production in the body.

Increased breakdown of platelets: Due to factors like pregnancy, immune thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, bacteria in the blood, haemolytic uremic syndrome, and certain medications (such as heparin, quinine, sulfa-containing antibiotics and anticonvulsants), platelets can get used up or destroyed in the body faster than they are being produced.

Symptoms of low platelets include:
Purpura (Easy or excessive bruising)
Enlarged spleen
Superficial bleeding into the skin that appears as pinpoint-sized reddish-purple spots (petechiae), usually on the calves
Prolonged bleeding from cuts
Bleeding from the gums or nose
Unusually heavy menstrual flows
Blood in urine or stools
Fatigue

Some patients with milder forms may not even require treatment for thrombocytopenia. However, if the condition is more severe, common methods of low platelet count treatment include:
Medications to boost immunity and prevent low platelets
Blood or platelet transfusions
Plasma exchange for those having thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Surgery

Besides this, there are several home remedies one can adopt to improve platelet count, such as the following:
Avoiding intense activities that increase the risk of injury like boxing, karate, MMA, and football
Reduce or limit alcohol consumption, as it slows down platelet production
Cautiously use OTC medications like aspirin and ibuprofen, as they cause platelets to malfunction

HerbsDaily offers a wide range of supplements that can help ease symptoms of thrombocytopenia.
