Does anybody have an idea how to increase your platelet levels in a natural way?!


Question: Does anybody have an idea how to increase your platelet levels in a natural way?
I was admitted to the hospital on Christmas for super heavy period. They found out my platelets were extremely low they were at 3,000. I was loosing to much blood so I had to have a blood transfusion and a platelet transfusion, which helped alot. But now im at home worried and wondering if there is a natural way or something i can do at home to increase my platelets, i would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Seriously? No.

The best way to resolve this problem would be to manage your heavy periods and/or the cause. I assume management has been prescribed? If not, you need to discuss this with your GP, otherwise the same thing will happen again.

If blood clotting disorders, uterine abnormalities, fibroids and hormone problems, etc have been excluded and this is just a case of heavy periods, a rational suggestion would be a class of drug containing levonorgestrel or Tranexamic acid tablets. However, I am not privy to your diagnosis, so you need to discuss this with your GP.

Alt.Med has nothing to offer, of course.



Foods with zinc contents are said to increase the platelets count,like cheese dry frutis etc In india there is a ayurvedic medicine known as 'Guduchi(No side effects except prolonged use in heavy dosses cause constipation)it really increases the platelets count



Unfortunately alternative therapies are useless as treatment of low levels of platelets.

Hi Rhianna :-) Welcome back.



Leafy green vegetables like spinach mustard greens etc beets are also good. Make a smootie with spinach beets and banana
