[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Low platelet counts occur due to either decreased production of platelet pre-cursors in bone or destruction of platelets are its pre-cursors in the peripheral blood and in bone marrow. Thus, both of the above-mentioned causes of low platelet has to be managed. You need to consult your hematologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations. Investigations will help to determine the cause of low platelet counts and thus treatment. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
