I've just gotten my blood test results back, and everything looks normal except for a high level of plateletcrit, sitting at 3.30 mLL. I don't have any other symptoms right now, but should I be concerned about this? What could it mean, and is there something specific I should do or look out for?

View allMy 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 42-year-old guy living in Pune and I've just been told that my platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs. Should I be worried about this? What happens if my platelet count gets even higher? At what point should I start to really worry, like if it goes over 6 lakhs or something like that?
Platelets are blood cells that help with clotting to stop bleeding. A platelet count slightly higher than 5 lakhs is known as thrombocytosis. In some cases, a high platelet count may not cause any symptoms and may be discovered incidentally on a blood test. However, persistently high platelet counts can lead to an increased risk of blood clots. If your platelet count is consistently above 6 lakhs, it may be a cause for concern. It is important to monitor your platelet count regularly and consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. Treatment for high platelet count may involve addressing the underlying condition, such as an infection or inflammation. In your case, since your platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs and you are 42 years old, it is advisable to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management. Regular monitoring of your platelet count and addressing any underlying health issues is important to prevent complications associated with high platelet counts.

I'm a bit worried about my blood test results. It shows my WBC at 4600, RBC at 4.25, and something about platelets. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about these numbers?
E. histolytica infection can cause unpleasant symptoms. *Interpretation of Stool Test Results* - *Cysts of E. histolytica*: The presence of cysts indicates an E. histolytica infection, which can cause amoebiasis. - *Mucous discharge during stool passage*: This symptom is consistent with an E. histolytica infection, which can cause intestinal inflammation and mucous production. *Chronic vs. Acute Infection* - *Chronic infection*: If you've been experiencing symptoms for an extended period (weeks or months), it could indicate a chronic infection. - *Acute infection*: If symptoms are recent (days or weeks), it might be an acute infection. *Treatment Options* - *Metronidazole*: This antibiotic is commonly used to treat E. histolytica infections. - *Paromomycin*: This antibiotic can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or to complete treatment after metronidazole. - *Diloxanide furoate*: This medication can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or mild intestinal infections. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your test results and symptoms. 2. *Complete treatment*: Follow your doctor's recommended treatment plan to ensure you're properly treated. 3. *Follow-up testing*: Your doctor may recommend follow-up stool tests to ensure the infection has cleared.
