The patient's symptoms suggest the presence of thrombocytosis. Blood tests confirm the diagnosis. Bone marrow aspiration (removal of a tissue sample for microscopic examination) may also be performed.

Your wife is suffering of thrombocytopenia what to do?

You take her back to the doctor who diagnosed the thrombocytopenia and get treatment for her. Thrombocytopenia is low platelet count. In extreme cases she might need a transfusion of platelets. She might also need medication such as prednisone. The condition will not go away on its own, and she is at risk of bleeding internally. Platelets are the component of blood that is repsponsible for clotting.
