Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that my platelet count is extremely low, only 36. I have visited two hospitals but they couldn’t determine what to do. Neither an abortion nor giving birth is an option. Please give me a detailed reply. Looking forward to your response!!

Previous diagnoses and treatment history and outcomes: None detected
Additional tests: None
Other: None
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Normal abortion can be performed within 12 weeks, but the risk increases with the gestational age, especially when it exceeds 10 weeks. Based on your condition, it is recommended to receive a platelet transfusion and undergo an inpatient abortion. Also, it is important to enhance nutrition.Platelet transfusion can be used to support the abortion procedure. If the cause of the platelet reduction can be identified, symptomatic treatment can be administered. It is advised to first determine the underlying cause.
