[|Human|] Hi, my husband has low blood platelets and its 121.  He did some blood test back in January 2012 and it was 136 but the doctor failed to inform us.  This time aroud they told him he needs to retest in one month.  Should we worry and go sooner? I know the range is between 150-450.  It just worries me that its going to be almost a year and we just found out.Thanks for your help,Lara
[|AI|]  Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern regarding your platelets count. Your platelets count is low, but it is just slightly below the normal range.  So no need to worry at all. Just be relaxed. Many people have this count without any problems. Even simple viral infection can lead to slightly low platelet count. So as par as you don't have bleeding you should not worry.  If you have any signs of bleeding then urgently consult your doctor. Just go for repeat examination after a month. Mostly it will come back to the normal.  Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
