“At the slightest contact, or even the small blood vessels in our body that constantly break, my body cannot control it. So I was at risk of having an internal hemorrhage,” she recalled.
The former reality participant revealed for the first time what diagnosis she received after going through two hospitalizations due to a concerning decrease in her platelets
“At the slightest contact, or even the small blood vessels in our body that constantly break, my body cannot control it. So I was at risk of having an internal hemorrhage,” she recalled.
The young woman went through two hospitalizations due to the condition and used her social media to share part of the process with her followers. During her time on Moria Casán's show, she revisited some of those images and acknowledged that it is still difficult for her to see herself going through those moments.
“A month ago, on this same date, I was hospitalized. It’s very strange how life presents you with problems from one day to the next and you have to face them,” she reflected.
Despite the concern her health condition generated, González reassured everyone about her current state. “Today I am stable,” she assured.
However, she admitted that seeing the images of her hospitalizations still has a strong impact on her. “It makes me feel bad to see myself like that... I don’t like seeing myself sick. I know I have an illness, but I am not the illness,” she expressed.
After several weeks of uncertainty and two hospitalizations, Denisse González, former participant of Big Brother revealed what illness she was diagnosed with. The young woman had shared various moments of her treatment through her social media, although until now she had not publicly explained what caused the severe decrease in her platelets.
Invited to La Mañana con Moria (eltrece), González shared that she was diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a condition that can cause very low platelet levels and increase the risk of bleeding.
“It’s a very particular disease, but from what I understand, it happens to many people. My disease is called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. My case is idiopathic because the cause that triggered it is unknown,” she explained.
During the interview, the former Big Brother contestant detailed how the condition manifested in her body and recalled one of the most concerning moments she experienced during her hospitalizations.
Platelets are components of blood that play a role in coagulation and are essential for controlling bleeding. Denisse explained that while normal values are approximately between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood, in her case, she recorded only 1000.
