Raised platelet count

Sophxxx
Offline

Hello,

I have had my results back from a blood test, I have a raised platelet count and low ferritin levels. I have had abnormal menstraul bleeding for 4 months now and have a lump on my vulvar I am due to have a scan tomorrow. I was just wondering if anyone else has had raised platelets and an indication of what this can be? I can't get a telephone appointment until 12th April so I just went off what the receptionist told me. I am tired and exhausted all the time which I have been prescribed iron tablets for an iron deficiency

    Hello Sophxxx, 

    How did your scan go yesterday? I hope that you have a few more answers by now and that the scan will shed some light on what is causing all this. Hopefully you will also hear from others on the forum who have raised plaitelets and low ferritin levels and they will be able to tell you more about what it meant for them. Obviously these test results may have different meanings and implications for different people and your GP will be best placed to tell you more about it and about what these results may signify in your specific case. 

    You will probably find out more on the 12th of April and I am keeping everything crossed for you for good results. It's good that you have some iron tablets now to tackle the iron deficiency and I hope that they will be very effective in making you feel less exhausted. 

    Best wishes,
