Dr. Liu Feng
The early symptoms of thrombocytopenic purpura mainly include:
1. **Bleeding tendency**: Bleeding spots and bruises may appear on the skin and mucous membranes, commonly found on the limbs and areas prone to collision. The gums and nose may also bleed easily, and female patients may experience increased menstrual bleeding.
2. **Mild anemia symptoms**: Patients may experience physical fatigue, listlessness, pallor, and weakness in the limbs.
3. **Other symptoms**: Depending on disease progression, symptoms of internal bleeding may also occur, such as bloody stools or hematuria. However, internal bleeding is rare during the early stage.
These symptoms are common early manifestations of thrombocytopenic purpura. If the above symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation for diagnosis and treatment.
