Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura?
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets, which are blood cells that help with clotting. ITP can cause low platelet levels, leading to easy bruising and bleeding. Triggers include infections like HIV and hepatitis.
Typical Symptoms of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
- Tiny red spots in the mouth
- Purple rash
- Bruising easily
- Purple rash over legs
- Periods last more than 8 days
- Red spots on the skin
- Blood in stool
- Nosebleed
Diagnostic Questions for Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have tiny red spots in your mouth?
- Do you have purple skin spots?
- Do you bleed easily from minor injuries?
- Are there small dark purple dots on your feet?
- Does your period last longer than 8 days?
Treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Children with ITP usually recover without treatment. Adults need medication to suppress the immune system. Blood transfusions may be necessary for support. In rare cases, removing the spleen may be needed to prevent platelet destruction.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
