If platelet levels decrease, a condition known as thrombocytopenia occurs, which can lead to increased bleeding and bruising due to the blood's reduced ability to clot. Symptoms may include frequent nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and the appearance of petechiae (small red or purple spots on the skin). Low platelet counts can result from various factors, including bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, certain medications, or infections. In severe cases, it may require medical intervention to manage the underlying cause and prevent complications.
