Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which the platelet count (PLT) in routine blood tests is below the low limit of normal (i.e. PLT <100×109/L). The diagnosis of thrombocytopenic purpura is made when there is bleeding from the skin and mucous membranes. Because platelets are closely related to human blood clotting, so when the number of platelets is significantly reduced can cause skin and mucous membrane bleeding, such as skin bleeding spots and purpura, nasal bleeding, gum bleeding; serious cases even lead to gastrointestinal bleeding, cerebral hemorrhage and other critical illnesses, should be given great attention. Thrombocytopenia can be caused by a variety of causes, such as infection, drugs, tumors, congenital, etc. The most common is "immune thrombocytopenia" (formerly known as "idiopathic or primary thrombocytopenic purpura"), and the incidence of this disease is increasing year by year. In the course of the clinic, often encounter patients consulting in daily life should pay attention to what problems, how to maintain, because the clinic time limited can not answer one by one, so write this article unified detailed response to explain, hope that the platelet reduction patients treatment and recovery some help. First, avoid all kinds of infections This is the most important one. Including colds, tonsillitis, urinary tract infections, enteritis, etc.. Because bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms can act on the organism, through a complex mechanism, and eventually increase platelet destruction or inhibit platelet production, resulting in recurrent or aggravated disease. Therefore, we should comply with the climate season weather changes, moderate exercise, improve immunity, enhance the body's defense ability, while paying attention to personal hygiene to reduce the occurrence of infection. Second, keep your mood relaxed "anger hurts the liver, thinking hurts the spleen", loss of harmony between qi and blood, all diseases are born. The liver is the main reservoir of blood, the spleen is the main blood, is essential to regulate the normal operation of blood. Frequent mood depression, impatience and anger, anxiety and fear can damage the functions of the liver and spleen and other internal organs, making the liver and spleen disharmony, qi depression and fire, qi and blood malfunction, leading to increased bleeding. We have seen patients with significant reduction of platelets due to anger in outpatient clinics. We should not ignore the impact of bad emotions on the disease, to maintain peace of mind and body is conducive to health care. Third, do not overwork Clinical often encountered due to excessive physical labor, prolonged use of computers, play cell phones, frequent late nights or night shifts, or long-term poor sleep and make the condition unstable or aggravated patients. Because strain and injury can deplete the body's positive energy, deficiency of positive energy, lack of qi and blood, human immunity will be abnormal, which is not conducive to treatment and improvement of the disease. It is very important to exercise properly (do not carry out strenuous or high-risk sports that can easily cause trauma) and combine work and rest. Fourth, careful diet, quit smoking and drinking We all know the phrase "disease from the mouth", unreasonable diet, not only can cause disease, but also can make the disease aggravated or repeated. From years of clinical experience, platelet reduction patients are mostly hot body, more long-term use of hormones can also affect the function of the spleen and stomach, so that the accumulation of heat in the jiao, transport and transformation is not conducive to stagnant diet, moisture and heat, heat is forced to blood delusion, aggravating bleeding. If you eat spicy, sweet and greasy, fried, barbecue, fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish, beef, mutton and dog meat and other phlegm-boosting diet, it is like pouring oil on the fire and making platelets fall. So it is very important to avoid eating. Tobacco and alcohol can also make people have internal heat, so it is important to quit. It is recommended to eat light and nutritious food and not to eat junk food, please remember. In addition, certain drugs that affect the number and function of platelets should be avoided by everyone. Fifth, abstinence from sex to protect the kidneys This is often overlooked. The kidneys contain essence, essence and blood of the same origin, the kidneys are the main bone, produce marrow, for the innate basis, the spleen is the innate basis, the strength of the spleen and kidney function determines the occurrence, development, regression and prognosis of disease, extremely important. Modern research shows that the function of the kidney in Chinese medicine is related to the immune, endocrine, neurological, hematopoietic and reproductive systems of the human body. If the room is overworked, the kidney essence is depleted, the yin deficiency and fire, and the lack of positive energy, it is not conducive to the improvement of the disease and may even aggravate the disease. In addition, thrombocytopenia can easily cause bleeding, so we should avoid strenuous exercise, trauma, tooth extraction, major surgery (consult your doctor first), etc. to prevent danger.
