I had a hysterectomy Oct 8th, my platelets were low 300's then. Last week at 2 weeks post op they were at 500!!! 400 being the cut off. My hemoglobin was alittle low as well. This week, they are at 600!!!!! My RDW is high and my WBC is very slightly elevated as well my hemoglobin is still down slightly from the surgery. What is causing this increase in platelets??? I am super paranoid about blood clots because I would already be at risk from having the abdominal surgery. I am 33 with no other risk factors that I know of, but I have started baby aspirin and reading on whatever else I can do to make sure my blood is thin.
Why are my platelets suddenly doing this?? I dont have any infection that the doc can see or suspects including urinary. I read it could be inflammation but I am 3 weeks postop so why would it still be rising like this????
Thank you for any help you can give me. I am seriously a mess over this
