Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have polycythemia vera. Aspirin is useful to prevent block in blood vessels. Periodically phlebotomy is useful. Hydroxyurea is drug of choice. Permanent treatment is bone marrow transplantation. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
