A member asked:

When should an itp patient seek emergency medical attention?

9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Bleeding: You should seek medical care when you notice an increase in the frequency or severity of bruising or bleeding. It does not necessarily require a visit to an emergency room, but you should at least contact your hematologist.
