Primary thrombocytopenia can be cured to some extent, but the treatment outcome depends on multiple factors. 1. Treatment methods: Treatment includes general management, drug therapy, platelet transfusion, splenectomy, and radiation therapy. Among these, hormone therapy is a commonly used approach, which can stimulate platelet production and restore platelet levels to normal. 2. Severity of the condition: For patients with mild disease, improving dietary habits and lifestyle, such as increasing intake of vitamin-rich foods, getting more sleep, and reducing stress, may help improve the condition. 3. Individual differences: Each person's physical condition and disease status vary, therefore treatment outcomes may also differ.
