Is it okay to go for scuba diving if you have ITP? I'm an adult and have been diagnosed with ITP around two years back.

That would most definitely depend on what your counts were when you went and how deep you were going. And that is a question for your doctor.

All I can say is that if your counts are above 150, I'm sure you'd be fine. Other than that, ask your MD.
