Suggest Treatment For Low Platelet Count In Females

MY daughter is 31. She has two boys 4 and1 years old. She had low platelets ect. and had C-Sections both times. After the last c-section she had an infusion of platelets. Her platelets were checked about 6 weeks after the birth of her last child. They were 160,00. She sees a psychiatrist for anxiety and is on LEXAPRO. For some reason, the Psychiatrist wanted a platelet count because of her history with pregnancy. She had the test done at a different lab then the first. Time frame now is 1 year after the last c-section. This test result was 120,000. Normal being 140,000. What should she she do?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your platelet count is slightly low. There are many causes of slightly low platelet. Even mild viral infection can leads to this. So if you dont have any symptoms of low platelet then no need to worry. just be relaxed. Just go for repeat test after few days. It will come back to normal
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
