Polycythemia vera dx 2006. take daily 81mg aspirin. gastro believes it caused ulcer and inflammation in ilium. any substitution for baby aspirin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See hematologist: Polycythemia can now be treated with new disease-specific agents. Aspirin may reduce the risk of thrombosis, but does not reduce the red blood cell count. P. vera at age 27 is very rare. Have you been properly diagnosed? If you haven't seen a hematologist recently, you ought to.
