What Should I Do If I Have Too Few Platelets?

Too few platelets may be caused by iron deficiency anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, and other reasons. It can be treated through medication, surgery, and other methods.

1. Iron Deficiency Anemia: Mainly caused by insufficient iron intake and increased demand, it can cause dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, pallor, etc., and also affect the synthesis of platelets in the body, leading to low levels. It can be treated with ferrous succinate tablets, ferrous sulfate tablets, and ferrous gluconate tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: The causes are not fully understood, but infections, abnormal estrogen secretion, and genetic factors are considered. It can cause nasal and skin mucosa bleeding, leading to thrombocytopenia. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and take prednisone acetate tablets, caffeic acid tablets, and aminopeptidase tablets for treatment. The doctor may also recommend splenectomy.

3. Aplastic Anemia: Causes include gene mutations, autoimmune abnormalities, etc. It can cause symptoms such as pallor, fatigue, and palpitations, leading to decreased levels of red blood cells and white blood cells in the body and affecting platelet synthesis. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and take cyclosporine soft capsules, cyclophosphamide tablets, and danazol capsules for treatment. Patients with severe disease may need to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as advised by their doctors.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by leukemia, etc., and medical attention should be sought promptly.
