Some things can affect how well the bone marrow can produce platelets. When not enough platelets are made, the platelet count in your blood is too low. Chemotherapy and some radiation therapy can cause this temporarily. These cancer treatments can slow the production of platelets in the bone marrow. Another cause of a low platelet count is cancer of the bone marrow. Other conditions can result in a low platelet count as well.
1 The medical name of platelets is thrombocytes. 2  The condition where blood does not clot normally due to low platelet count is called thrombocytopenia. 3  Anything that can cause bleeding should be avoided when a person has a low blood platelet count.
