9. Prognosis
Fortunately, if you have a straightforward case of purpura, your condition is likely to last for about a month. There is not much you can do to speed the healing process aside from listening to your doctor’s advice and taking necessary medications.
If you have kidney or stomach involvement, have a conversation with your doctor about whether you need to take stronger medications or if your case is severe enough to warrant considering surgery. Each recurrence of the condition can bring on a different set of symptoms, so it is important that you get a doctor’s advice each time.
