PLATELETS....... How to reduce naturally?

Ok, since I got my spleen removed, the main issue is that my platelets went high. 2 weeks after surgery they went to 1.4 million, now 7 months later they have settled between 620-675. My hematologist said to take a baby asprin every day. But long term NSAID give me uhhhhhhhhhh  "male related" side affects...  Any suggestions for natural way to deal with high platelets? thanks

Try natural vitamin E. Time will also bring the level lower.

With a splenectomy, platelet counts will remain high forever.

However, it will come down to the 400-450K levels over a period of time.

The funny thing is that despite the higher number of platelets, I have seen no changes to my clotting time whatsoever - if, anything, I believe that my clotting time may have increased. Post TX or blood drawing, I have to always take a dry cotton swab for coagulation to happen. A swab dipped in alcohol keeps the blood flowing!

Not on Aspirin, but have been taking Vitamin E, as Andy also mentioned.
