I do not have a fever, but I am experiencing light headache, dizziness, and lower abdominal pain. I had a CBC done, which shows a low platelet count of 52,000 and hemoglobin of 9.4. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Low platelets (52,000) and low hemoglobin (9.4) with dizziness and lower abdominal pain need urgent evaluation even without fever. It could be due to internal bleeding, dengue, or other causes. Avoid painkillers and heavy activities. Consult a doctor or visit the hospital immediately for monitoring. Do a Repeat CBC, Dengue NS1, and Ultrasound Abdomen to find the cause.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

What would happen if a person does not have platelets?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please can someone confirm if this indicates cancer? Recently, I had a very low platelet count of 108,000. I started experiencing bruising on my body and bleeding from gums. I was given medication to increase platelet count. My latest report, done day before yesterday, shows that my platelet count has increased to 533,000. I have attached the report for reference. Could you please advise if there is anything serious in my report and whether there are any indications of cancer?
