When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffSee your doctor if you:
- Have abnormal bleeding or bruising
- Develop a rash of pinpoint-sized red spots (petechiae)
Because some of the underlying causes of thrombocytopenia are serious, it's important for your doctor to promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms.
Also, see your doctor right away if you're taking heparin and you have severe or increasing pain in your leg. This may be an indication of a blood clot deep in a vein in your leg, which can seriously affect your health.
