Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A platelet count of 150 thousand/cu.mm is a good count and is in the normal range. There is nothing to worry. Since ITP happens due to autoimmune causes most of the times, there is nothing much that you can do maintain the platelet count.
Wysolone is not likely to affect the sperm count. You can father a baby without any problems. Do not worry.
Sexual intercourse does not affect the platelet counts in any way. You can enjoy having sex as long as it is pleasurable. Your health problems are not likely to affect your sexual performance or libido.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
