Suggest Treatment For Iron Deficiency Anemia

Posted on Tue, 28 Mar 2017

Question: Well I am 35 years old I was diagnosed with having iron deficiency anemia and my platelet count is 715. Can this cause me to just clot and not bleed while menstruating? Like the size of tennis balls with little blood flow.

Brief Answer:
Not likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Low platelet count and iron deficiency anemia caused increased bleeding tendencies.
These factors are responsible for clotting and if decreased, then it leads to increased bleeding during periods.
Excessive clot formation is unlikely due to it.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Hi dear,
Sorry for the wrong interpretation.
Increased platelet count can lead to thrombosis and clot formation.
You should consult a hematologist for proper examination and treatment accordingly. Platelet syndrome like megakaryocytosis.
