Patient's question:
Doctor, during a health check-up, I carefully examined the blood routine, and the results showed a decrease in platelets. Then, I didn't know what disease it was and didn't take it seriously. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said I have hypersplenism. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
The spleen is both an autoimmune organ in the human body and a site where blood cells are destroyed. Generally, when splenomegaly occurs again, the tension of the spleen can lead to varying degrees of increase in various blood cells. However, your platelet count is currently declining. This indicates that your splenomegaly is only mild, and the condition is not severe. If it were serious, it could completely cause an increase in platelets. For such mild splenomegaly, there is no need to take any medication. Close and careful monitoring with follow-up is sufficient.
