A member asked:
Why are my platelets and wbc decreasing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Why do you ask and how do you know? Clearly a blood test is at the root of this question and I recommend asking your doctor what exactly is going on. Jumping the gun and getting an answer without having all the facts can only cause you stress unnecessarily. Best wishes

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped had you provided the time line and actual numbers. Wish you good health!
