A platelet disorder affects how many platelets you have or how they function, including too few (thrombocytopenia), too many (thrombocytosis) or dysfunctional platelets, leading to clotting or bleeding issues. Symptoms may include unexplained bruising, nosebleeds, heavy periods, gum bleeding or abnormal clots. If unmanaged, complications can range from bleeding to clots, stroke or organ damage. Early diagnosis and care with Dr Nandini Hazarika help manage symptoms, prevent complications and guide treatment for safer health outcomes.
