Question

Lately, my gums have been bleeding, and sometimes I urinate a little blood. For the past two days, I’ve had stomachaches and occasionally felt like vomiting, which is particularly uncomfortable. Today, after the doctor checked me, he said my platelet count is elevated. How should I treat elevated platelet counts?

Answer

A slightly elevated platelet count is usually not a major concern. However, if you frequently experience gum bleeding, it may be related to calculus or a deficiency of vitamin C. If you have blood in your urine, it could indicate urinary system inflammation, such as acute pyelonephritis or kidney stones. It is recommended to check urine, conduct blood tests for kidney function, and have a kidney ultrasound examination promptly.
