Primary thrombocytopenia can be prevented by avoiding activities that may lead to injury or trauma, such as contact sports, and by avoiding alcohol and smoking. vaccination against certain infections, such as measles, mumps, and rubella, may also lower the risk of developing primary thrombocytopenia. additionally, regular medical checkups and blood tests can help detect any abnormalities in the platelet count and allow for early treatment.
