Brief Answer:
Do not worry is ok

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

After going through your history I came to know that your uterus has been removed by surgery, and your blood parameter was slightly raised like ESR, and Platelets.

I can understand the concern regarding this, any how first of all please dont worry about this, as lot of people undergo hysterectomy for various reasons, so it is absolutely OK.

As you have asked that your ESR and PLATELETS were raised ,

So in my opinion these two parameters may rise after surgery, an an individual need not to worry, unless you do not observe any abnormal symptoms. You can be relaxed and follow the instruction given by your treating doctor.

You can also take some multivitamin supplement and calcium after consulting your treating surgeon.

Please if possible upload your earlier documents so that I will be able to know the detailed history of yours.

Please dont forget to once again do your normal blood examination done, after some time, and it is expected to come normal.

Hope I have cleared your doubt, fell free to ask again if you have any further query.

I shall be happy to help you again,

Wishing you speedy recovery, good health and good luck,

Regards,

Thanks.
