Undiagnosed blood problem

Hello and welcome to e health forum.

The description of your symptoms are mostly due to Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and not due to cancer.
‎
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).

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or ITP occurs when certain immune system cells produce ‎antibodies against platelets. In such a situation the possibility of increased platelet destruction due to ‎presence of antibodies to platelets results in low platelet counts.

Treatment of ITP is usually symptomatic and the only thing needed is time and patience. In some ‎cases, steroids (like prednisone) can be started to help in recovery. In resistent cases, ‎immunosuppression can be helpful. ‎

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.‎ Hence there is no need to worry.
