Can a low dose aspirin lower blood platelet count. mine is 701. i have no spleen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aspirin renders platelets functionless but does not reduce the count. It is not a do it yourself matter and you should consult a hematologist. You also ought to get pneumococcal vaccine. Visit this site for info: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10352333/ Wish you good health.
