What are the implications of ITP during pregnancy?
Pregnancy poses unique challenges for women with ITP. During pregnancy, platelet counts can naturally fluctuate, and the immune system undergoes significant changes. Women with ITP are at an increased risk of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and postpartum hemorrhage. It's crucial for pregnant women with ITP to be closely monitored by both their gynecologist and a hematologist.
