lifestyle
2

Low-dose aspirin therapy

Antiplatelet therapy to reduce thrombotic risk by inhibiting platelet aggregation, typically used as first-line pharmacologic intervention for symptomatic patients.

medication
3

Therapeutic phlebotomy

Regular blood removal to reduce hematocrit levels and blood viscosity, decreasing thrombosis risk particularly in patients with marked erythrocytosis.

procedure

Additional treatment options

Cytoreductive therapy

Hydroxyurea or other agents to reduce platelet production in high-risk patients or those failing aspirin/phlebotomy, lowering thrombotic complications.

medication

Cardiovascular risk reduction

Smoking cessation, regular exercise, maintaining healthy weight, and managing hypertension/diabetes to minimize thrombotic risk factors.

lifestyle

Regular hematologic monitoring

Frequent complete blood count monitoring to track platelet trends, assess treatment response, and detect progression toward secondary myelofibrosis or acute leukemia.
