Hi I did review your concern. Can you please send us the complete blood report to comment more on your platelet count? Low platelet counts can be due to many reasons like a recent infection, or idiopathic (ITP) or immunological destruction or low production or bone marrow infiltration by any process. We need to have a look at your report and if it is below 1 lakChatDoctorm then a bone marrow aspirate is advised to see if it is megakaryocytic or not. Then there is treatment available to increase platelet count in form steroids or splenectomy or romiplostim and so on, but it depends on diagnosis.I hope this helps. Wish you all the best. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.
