My platelet count has been stuck at 70,000 for 15 days and isn't going up, which is delaying my fracture surgery. I've tried caripil carica leaf extract, papaya fruit and leaf juice, kiwi, and giloy soup and tablets but nothing's working. What else can I do to boost my platelets quickly?

I'm a 30-year-old single woman, and I've just found out that my pdw, rdw, and mpv levels are higher than the normal range. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean for my health. Could you explain the possible reasons behind these results and suggest any steps I should take moving forward?

I'm a bit worried because I need to have an operation soon, and my haemoglobin level is only at 9.7. Do you have any advice on how I can raise it quickly?

I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tablets once daily. Additionally, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens. Vitamin C can also help with iron absorption, so consider taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming foods high in Vitamin C like citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery and hemoglobin production.
