General description of the disease
This is a group of diseases characterized by high bleeding due to functional disorders of platelets. Platelets are platelets that are responsible for blood clotting at the initial stage of bleeding.
According to statistics worldwide, every 20th person suffers from thrombocytopathy with varying degrees of severity and severity.
Symptoms of the course of thrombocytopathy
The main manifestation of thrombocytopathy is hemorrhagic syndrome, which is characterized by increased bleeding. In this case, hemorrhages appear under the skin and under the mucous membranes after the most minimal damage. Thrombocytopathy is manifested by nosebleeds after minor injuries, uterine bleeding during menstruation, bloody discharge in feces or urine, and vomiting with blood.
With a prolonged course of thrombocytopathy against the background of hemorrhagic syndrome, anemic syndrome develops, in which the patient has constant weakness, dizziness, low efficiency, shortness of breath, accelerated heartbeat during even a weak load, fainting, stabbing pain in the heart.
Types of thrombocytopathy
Thrombocytopathy is congenital (also called primary) and symptomatic (secondary). The secondary form of the disease develops after the transfer of certain diseases.
Reasons for the development of thrombocytopathy
The disease develops for several reasons and directly depends on its form of course.
Primary thrombocytopathy is transmitted at the genetic level – at birth, the structure of the platelet walls is already disrupted in a child.
In the secondary (acquired) form, platelets change their structure due to the presence of radiation sickness, tumors, kidney and liver diseases, with insufficient intake of vitamin B12.
Useful foods for thrombocytopathy
In thrombocytopathy, nutrition plays an important role. To improve the patient’s condition, it is required to replenish the body with all trace elements and vitamins. In particular, the body needs folic acid, vitamins B12 and K, omega-6. To fill the body with them, you need to eat rabbit meat, lamb, beef, sea fish, hard cheese, eggs, dairy products, peaches, persimmons, citrus fruits, herbs (parsley, dill, coriander, spinach, garlic, lettuce), cabbage, green apples, legumes, pumpkin, avocado, mountain ash, flour, yeast, apricots, buckwheat porridge, cucumbers, watermelons, nuts.

Everything should be thoroughly mixed and placed in a cool, dark place for 14 days. The affected areas should be lubricated with a thin layer of ointment three times a day until complete healing.
- If a vessel bursts and a bruise appears, a bandage with freshly squeezed cabbage juice or boiled aloe juice will help to quickly eliminate it. For the same purposes, young leaves of a willow tree help well.
