2. PV is a blood-disorder with many associated symptoms.
There are many different symptoms that can be characteristic of having PV, and you should take note if you have been experiencing symptoms like tiredness, headache, day or night sweats, bleeding of the gums and tiredness; itching after a warm bath can also be a symptom, and you could find that you are suddenly experiencing much heavier bleeding from small cuts.
Along with these symptoms, you might also experience burning or numbness of the extremities – or blind spots and difficulty seeing.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms that could be associated with PV, then your next step should be to make an appointment with a professional so that you can be tested for the possibility of having the disease. Make sure that you mention any symptoms that you have been experiencing that could be relevant – and even mention the symptoms that don’t seem relevant to you, as they could mean a lot to your doctor.
