Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. Can essential thrombocythemia be cured?Doctor's answer:
Primary thrombocytopenic purpura, also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura, is named as such because the exact cause of recurrent thrombocytopenia cannot be identified. Treatment options include intravenous immunoglobulin, platelet transfusion, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants. Generally, different treatment plans are adopted based on individual circumstances. In a sense, it is difficult to cure, but the condition can be kept under long-term control. It is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor, follow the doctor's advice, appropriately reduce medication, and maintain platelet levels actively at normal levels, which is the key to success.
