Yes it does. Mine is less than 80. I have bruises all around my ankles and I bruise if hit.

Have you always had low count? Do you take aspirin everyday? Problem with your liver?

For some people, low count is normal.

It's better if you see a hematologist.

no but it causes the cuts to bleed more as clot formation takes time due to low platelet count
