There are still physical symptoms of low platelets, among which anemia is the most important symptom. Sometimes there are also symptoms of bleeding, such as easy nosebleeds, bleeding gums and other problems. There are also external symptoms such as pale complexion and general weakness. What are the main symptoms of thrombocytopenia
1. Clinically, the symptoms of anemia are an important manifestation of thrombocytopenia. However, due to different pathogenic factors in patients, the conditions of anemia in patients are also different, and are generally divided into two types: acute and subacute. Acute mainly refers to diseases such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, and acute intravascular hemolysis; subacute mainly refers to common diseases such as acute aplastic anemia, cellular anemia, and autoimmune anemia.
2. When suffering from thrombocytopenia, patients often experience bleeding symptoms. This symptom mainly occurs on the surface of the patient's skin. Generally, large ecchymoses can be clearly seen. In addition, some patients may also experience bleeding symptoms in their gums, nose, mouth, etc. In severe cases, patients may also experience bleeding symptoms in their digestive tract and internal organs.
3. Fever and pale complexion are also symptoms of thrombocytopenia. This is mainly due to the gradual decline of the patient's resistance, making him or her susceptible to infection. Clinically, patients often experience symptoms such as fever, pale face, and general weakness. In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms such as digestive tract infection and urinary system infection. What does low platelet mean
Low platelet means that the risk of bleeding is increasing. The lower the platelet, the greater the risk of bleeding. Of course, there are many reasons for low platelets. Common ones include decreased platelet production and increased platelet destruction. The most common diseases with decreased platelet production include aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, etc.
It is caused by damage to hematopoietic stem cells due to various reasons, which reduces the ability of hematopoietic stem cells to produce platelets. Excessive destruction of platelets. The most common disease is immune thrombocytopenic purpura, in which the body produces autoantibodies against platelets, causing excessive destruction of platelets in the blood circulation, resulting in a decrease in the number, and eventually various bleeding symptoms. .
Therefore, low platelets mean an increased risk of bleeding, and you need to go to the hospital for a timely examination to determine the cause of the thrombocytopenia and provide corresponding treatment. What to do if platelets are low
Low platelets can be physiological or pathological. If it is physiological, it generally does not require treatment.

Foods rich in iron
If you have low platelets, you should eat more foods rich in iron to increase the content of platelets. Iron deficiency will affect physical endurance, resulting in reduced immunity and anti-infection ability. Pay attention to supplementing more iron, because iron is a raw material for hematopoiesis and can replenish blood volume. Foods high in iron include pork liver, pig blood, lean meat, fungus, red dates, spinach, etc. Among animal foods, pig liver has the highest iron content, followed by fish, lean pork, beef, mutton, etc. Foods high in vitamins and trace elements
