Introduction
Bernard-soulier syndrome is a rarely found condition which is characterized by abnormal levels of platelets (thrombocytopenia), prolonged bleeding time and giant platelet cells. Due to all this platelets lose the ability to stick immediately to the injured site and are not able to cause clotting which leads to excessive bleeding and associated with epistaxis, spontaneous ecchymosis and women face heavy menstrual bleeding. People who are suffering from this condition immediately seek the ayurvedic treatment that treats this disease as per tiryaka raktapitta with herbal formulations.
Bernard Soulier Syndrome Symptoms
Symptoms of BSS are apparent at birth and if not treated then remain throughout the life. The symptoms faced by patients are:
- Heavy nose bleeding (epistaxis)
- Excessive bleeding from a little cut or trauma over skin.
- Unusual heavy menstrual bleeding.
- People can bruise easily and bruises are prone to stay.
- Subcutaneous bleeding.
- Petechiae
Causes of BSS
Bernard-soulier syndrome is a genetic disorder. In this disease the platelets are mislaid of an essential protein called the glycoprotein (Gp1b complex). Bernard soulier syndrome is caused by the mutation in this gene complex. Normally this Gp1b complex binds to the platelet’s surface. If one of these proteins is missing then they cannot bind to begin the clotting process and results in excessive bleeding.
Diagnosis of BSS
The diagnosis of BSS is done in three steps:
- Blood testing:To reveal low level of platelets
- Microscopic examination: To examine abnormally large or irregular shaped platelets
- Flow cytometry: To measure the level of missing protein ion
If someone is experiencing the above symptoms, get diagnosed to confirm the results and if results are positive then immediately visit the doctor and get treated by ayurvedic herbal remedies.
