How To Improve Platelet Count In Blood?

i am XXXXXXX hello sir i live in guwahati, assam(India).i am 31 yrs old.sir i am having low platelet count problem since my nine yrs of age,altough due to my low platelate i dont have any complicacies , i am very fit and lead a very normal life with no problems whatsoever. Only when i get hurt on my body a purple colour spot occurs and after some period of time say after six or seven days it gets lighten and disappears.my bleeding time also appears to be normal.I have been married since 7 yrs and have 2 children.earlier my platelet count used to stay within the range of 25-30 thousand,but since last 2 yrs it remains within 10-15 thousand.when iwas 11 yrs i had undergone a platelet transfusion & bone-marrow testing (the report for my bone marrow was ok),but it did not help in increasing the count.my spleen X-ray is also normal but since we have heard that the platelet count between 10-15 thousand is not normal & can cause any risk at anytime, so i just wanted to ask u what type of treatment i should follow.i dont want to undergo any surgeries or any transfusions any more & would prefer going through an ayurvedic treatment, so please suggest what should i do. I m taking only homeopathic medicine for this problem and also other problems if i get like cold, cough,fever etc but i m affected with these problems very rarely.I have never taken any allopathic medicine for my platelet problem due to the fear of side effects.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your platelet count is very low. Life threatening bleeding can occur with this count. You should take treatment urgently.
You should go for bone marrow biopsy to know the cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
