Can Spleen Deficiency Lead to Thrombocytopenia



Spleen deficiency may lead to thrombocytopenia, but it does not necessarily lead to thrombocytopenia.

Thrombocytopenia belongs to the category of blood evidence (non-physiological bleeding disorders) in Chinese medicine, whose symptoms are mainly various kinds of bleeding, and Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the master of blood control, and spleen deficiency will lead to various kinds of bleeding. Such patients can get certain treatment effects by strengthening the spleen, such as taking the additions of Gui Spleen Tang.

Spleen deficiency can lead to thrombocytopenia, but from the perspective of Chinese medicine, the cause of thrombocytopenia is not only spleen deficiency.

Other factors such as heatiness, stagnation of blood, Yin deficiency and fire exuberance (deficiency of Yin and essence in the body, and hyperactive deficiency and fire in the body) can lead to bleeding, which may be accompanied by different degrees of thrombocytopenia through modern medical examination; therefore, Spleen deficiency is only one of the factors of thrombocytopenia.

If you have any discomfort symptoms, you should go to the Chinese Medicine Department of the hospital and consult a Chinese medicine practitioner for guidance.
