Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I have been suffering from aplastic anemia for over a year now, and my platelet count is low. The medication doesn't seem to be working well, so I would like to consult about what to eat to replenish platelets in aplastic anemia. Can I eat seafood?Doctor's answer:
Aplastic anemia is primarily caused by the recurrence of issues with the self-healing function of the bone marrow, leading to low levels of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. In this case, positive drug treatment is likely to be much more effective. Generally, diet has little effect, but this condition allows for the consumption of seafood. However, it is important to pay attention to supplementing with folic acid and vitamin B12, as well as foods rich in iron, which should help stabilize the self-healing function.
