A member asked:
My blood counts are low and the hematologist did a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy even though i have no symptoms. is this normal?

Yes: Even without symptoms the cause of low blood counts needs to be investigated. A bone marrow biopsy is an important test to figure out the reason.
