What Causes Irregular Periods And Anemia?
I am 33, 5 1 and 130 lbs. I have been having issues with my cycle. I recently got my test results from a blood test concerning anemia. Everything came back normal. except my platelet count. It cam back 450. I took the test the week before my cycle came on. My question is, could that have made my count higher?

Hi there,
Platelet count of 450,000/cmm is in higher limit of normal range. Whenever there is excess bleeding, as a reaction to it, bone marrow produces more platelets. This results higher platelet count. Once bleeding problem is solved, platelet count also normalises.
Hope I have answered your question.
