Thrombocytopenia is a common bleeding disorder, the main symptom of which is that the body bleeds to varying degrees. Many patients have limited understanding of thrombocytopenia, and when bleeding occurs, they will inevitably be afraid, afraid, want to increase the value as soon as possible, and even "overtreatment"!
How is thrombocytopenia considered overtreated?
1: The patient uses the drug in large doses in pursuit of platelet elevation to the normal range;
2: After treatment, the platelet value is within the safe range, and the patient takes hormones for a long time to maintain the value;
3: In order to reduce bleeding, regular transfusion of C balls and platelets to maintain the value.
It is understandable to want to relieve symptoms and actively treat the disease, but the behavior of "overtreatment" is not advisable, and for some patients with acute thrombocytopenia, after active treatment, platelets may quickly return to the normal range.
However, most patients with thrombocytopenia have repeated and persistent conditions. Many patients in order to maintain the value does not decline, need to take drugs for a long time, slowly easy to appear drug dependence, take medicine to rise, stop the drug to drop, and even lead to some patients to take medicine can not see obvious effects.
Especially after the occurrence of colds, diarrhea and other phenomena, platelets are easy to decline again, there may be a case of very low platelets, some patients and their families are too worried, every time there is a decline in value, they will repeatedly transfuse C balls, platelet transfusions and eat hormones.
Although these drugs have a faster effect on improving the value of platelets, they are only temporary effects, if they are applied for a long time, there will inevitably be some side effects, and it is also easy to cause further damage to the immune system, and the physique will also deteriorate.
Blood doctors recommend that the treatment of thrombocytopenia does not necessarily require the pursuit of numerical values to reach the normal range. Especially in the case of repeated high-intensity shock treatment, the disease does not heal, daily life is seriously affected, such patients through the treatment, the value will be raised to a safe range, such as more than seventy or eighty, to ensure that no bleeding occurs, daily life can not be affected.
That is to say, the treatment goal of patients with thrombocytopenia (especially patients with a long course of chronic disease) is not simply to increase the value to the normal range, but to allow platelets to be stabilized in a safe range for a long time and avoid bleeding.
