Blood Platlets

Hello and welcome to e health forum.

For your information, bleeding tendency and symptoms occur only when the platelet count is very ‎low. The normal platelet count is 1.5 - 4.5 lakhs per cmm.

There are no specific ways to increase platelet counts, other than platelet transfusions. But such ‎transfusions are done only when the platelet counts are very low (less than 20,000 platelets /cmm).

Once a person recovers from the underlying condition causing platelet destruction or reduced production, recovery proceeds in a slow manner. With time, the bone marrow expands , and increases the ‎production of platelets, in required amounts. But in some cases, the counts will still be lower, due to ‎anti-platelet antibodies, which may destroy the newly produced platelets.

Over time, as complete recovery occurs, your platelet count will normalize.
