Patient's question:
My friend was diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura a while ago. She said that her legs have some blood spots now, and the amount becomes especially heavy every time she has her period. Is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura serious? How should it be treated? I'm very worried about her.Doctor's answer:
In general clinical diagnosis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is often related to the female menstrual period. Due to the special physiological characteristics of women, the imbalance of endocrine regulation caused by estrogen and progesterone leads to thrombocytopenic purpura. You don't need to worry too much. As long as you actively follow the doctor's advice on medication and treatment, and try to relax your mood, maintain a proper diet, and engage in adequate physical activity during daily life, this disease can be cured.
