What is Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)?
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a low platelet count. Platelets are essential for blood clotting, and a deficiency can lead to excessive bleeding and bruising. In the context of gynecology, this condition can have specific implications for women's health, particularly concerning menstruation and pregnancy.
