Question: Hello! I have had three blood test over the last two months. I had severe abdominal pain thought to be from a ruptured ovarian cyst, from that encounter they checked my blood and concern grew over a lower platelet count of 128,000. A second test was done a week later and the platelet count was still 128K and all other readings were normal. The two issues have been acknowledge separately ever since. Since then I have had an additional ultra sound that shows I have another ovarian cyst that we're currently monitoring and had an appointment with a hematologist which was last week. The new blood results from last week's visit indicate a 149,000 platelet count but also a higher than normal MPV of 13.4 FL . The Doctor said it's likely ITP and said the levels are not concerning and that they suggest monitoring it yearly. Should I be concerned? Could the ovarian cyst and abdominal discomfort and the platelet counts be a result of an underlying issue? Slightly concerned over the recommendation of just yearly monitoring- I suspected at least every three months. Should advocate for that?
