Iron deficiency: If you are a woman you are probably iron deficient due to menstrual blood loss. High platelet count is a known effect of that. Take oral iron and multivitamins to treat iron deficiency. You may repeat the test in 6 months or so. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
