Thrombocytopenia.

 Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which you have a low blood platelet count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries Treatment for thrombocytopenia depends on its cause and severity. ... If your condition is mild, you may not need treatment. A fully normal platelet count isn't necessary to prevent bleeding, even with severe cuts or accidents. Thrombocytopenia often improves when its underlying cause is treated A count lower than 150,000 is considered thrombocytopenia and may affect your ability to donate platelets, among other things. A platelet count below 10,000 is considered severe thrombocytopenia. When your platelet count gets too low, it can cause dangerous internal bleeding A low platelet count is a blood disorder that has a long list of possible causes. ... Reduced platelet content in the blood is not always a serious problem. However, the condition affects the ability of the blood to clot, and wounds can bleed severely with this condition. This can have serious complications in some cases.
