Brief Answer:
Hello. It is related to platelets

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So platelet disorder can be of two types broadly,l. Low platelets which we call as thrombocytopenia and high platelet which is known as thrombocytosis. I think you probably mean thrombocytosis. So in this condition there is increased tendency for blood clot formation and we give drugs like aspirin to prevent clot formation. Patient also need to drink lot of fluid.
Hope you understand now.
Thanks and regards
