Hello, Drcons thank you for consulting with XXXXXXX
This is Dr. Dipti Singh here to answer your query.
Mean platelet volume of 5.9 is low. It is a contraindication for extraction as it can cause excessive bleeding and other complications. You need to be evaluated and get MPV level treated first before going for extraction.
