Suggest Treatment For Low Platelet Count In Mentally Retarded
My brother is mentally challenged and he recently went to the doctor to run tests on him. His results came back with a low platelet count and he has lost 67 lbs. in the last 4 months. He is 6'3" and a big boy which means he should be eating all the time. All he does is masterbate all day and does not want to eat. Please help!

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Masturbation does not lead to weight lost. If he has low platelet counts with weight lost, that may be due some pathological cause. Better to consult a physician to rule out some reason. Treatment would depend upon the cause. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
