Patient's question:
During this period, my gums have been bleeding frequently, and sometimes I can also see a little blood in my urine. The past two days, I've been experiencing frequent stomach pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting, which makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Today, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said my platelet count is elevated. How is elevated platelet count treated?Doctor's answer:
A mild increase in platelet count is not a major issue. However, if you frequently experience gum bleeding, it may be due to tartar buildup or a lack of vitamin C. If you have blood in your urine, it could indicate a urinary tract infection, such as acute pyelonephritis or kidney stones. Therefore, it is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a urinalysis, blood tests to check kidney function, and a kidney ultrasound.
