- Spleen enlargement is a common problem we come across. Sometimes it may be just an ultrasound finding and may not have any major clinical problem. Spleen enlargement can be caused by various disorders. It can be a disorder like portal hypertension or liver disease where the Spleen enlargement is a sign and there is nothing wrong with thee spleen and it enlarges because of the liver disease and portal hypertension. There are intrinsic diseases of the spleen like splenic disorders, haemolytic anaemia, kala azar malaria, lymphomas and blood cancers can also cause splenic enlargement. So it is important that once you have a splenic enlargement, we undergo a complete thorough checkup and look at what are the reasons for the splenic enlargement. An enlarged spleen can be shrunk in size by treating the underlying diseases like if you have portal hypertension, then by doing a surgery or a procedure the spleen size can come down or we treat the underlying infection or the underlying haematological disorder the spleen size can come reduce, but there is also a way of reducing the spleen size by embolizing or blocking the artery which is supplying blood to the spleen. This is called as splenic artery embolization which is usually done by interventional radiologist and it is an effective way of reducing the spleen. In some cases the spleen size may be so large that they will require surgery or removal of spleen because they causes symptoms of heavy pain and discomfort and the blood counts coming down because the spleen is a place where all the red blood cells and the white blood cells gets destroyed. So there is something called as hypersplenism where they require surgery.

Even I'm having it since one month... What to do
@@pranavdevmp2203 do same exame to make sure the cause, and start taking 50mg of elemental zinc suplement, there a multiple study that shows zinc suplement will bring it back to normal size, also if is cause by virus in the liver or from Leishaniasis ,ask your Dr about this treatment: zinc used in the study was 400mg for 14 days together with Amphotericin or Glucantime in IV . The daily zinc dose of 30mg doesnt work, must be the higher dose,it will decrease the proinflamatory cytokines production and will increase new T cells, hemoglobin will increase after 3 weeks of zinc suplement
Are you fine now

My spleen is enlarged but im not removing it
And what are you doing with it how you managed it?
Mine hurts really bad
I found out a couple weeks ago after having a cat scan done because of pain that my spleen was enlarged and it hurts bad. I go see a surgeon next monday and I'm having bloodwork done tomorrow because they said that they're are many reasons why you're spleen can enlarge and i hope it isn't serious because I'm not having mine removed because it's you're bodies immune system fighter and i hope they're is q medication or something that can treat it without surgery.
@@angelsbutterflies6293 I just got a ultrasound for pain and fullness and my liver is 17 and my spleen Is 13.5cm I am waiting for my ct scan appointment I do have pain and tenderness and like a weird feeling I cant do my normal yoga stretches It doe hurt bad but yeah I hear it is needed I am looking for answers here too my liver i fatty so there linking them
good luck
@@mixytampa812 Thank you Mixy!! Thank you also for you're kind words and thoughts and my best wishes to you as well. I saw my surgeon this last Monday but he doesn't specialize in spleens anymore so he should take that off his website. He told me that i should see my GI Doctor for that because she's the one along with my. (Pcp) primary care physician that sent me for the cat scans and all and he said he could do the hernia repair which i have two , but those are the least of my concerns right now. But there are i found out alot of things that could cause the spleen to enlarge the surgeon told me that being Anemic ( low iron) could cause it , like you said a fatty liver and I'm not sure of my numbers because i don't actually have the paper from the scan in front of me. Basically there are alot of issues that can cause the spleen to enlarge all the way down to an infection, basically so many things to list even mono and an autoimmune disease that i do have unfortunately. Also unfortunately i have way to many health issues and i had to retire as a nurse that i did for a very long time, but my health problems got to the point were i couldn't work anymore and I'm used to helping people and not being on the other side that really stinks. Nurses make the worse patients that's true. But my neuphrolgost my kidney specialists had run a test and he ran them 6 months apart to check and he went into serum levels the blood levels and i was basically tested for so many things and i did come back positive for an autoimmune disease. He thinks it maybe some type of Lupus because there are different kinds but the scary part is there is only one way to find out what's going on with my kidneys because my numbers he's been studying for years keeps on declining and for my age that's very bad and the only way he said to find out exactly what is going on is to do a kidney biopsy and I'm literally scared to death. I'm a very tough person and a strong person but kidney problems have ran on my mother's side for a very long time. I was born already with a kidney disease and when he did the testing and said i had some kind of autoimmune disorder and i have two daughters and my oldest she has Lupus as well and i also have a connective tissue disorder that is against me. It basically has a long name and you're red blood cells are you're good ones and mine are literally attacking my good cells and other organs he sent me to another specialist for that and they wanted to put me on chemo and i want a different opinion because my immune system is bad enough it attacks my joints and so many things but my kidneys is what they're worried about the most and me as well and i don't want the chemo to destroy my immune system any worse. But i did hear that when the spleen is enlarged that there is an underlying reason why and they said that it wouldn't go away on it's own until they find out what's causing it. But that's just what i was told and many things can cause it and it takes a good Doctor and alot of bloodwork to figure it out unfortunately. it causes digestive issues that's probably were my IBS comes in and i don't know you're medical history or anything and i don't like putting mine out there but I'm trying to help you if it does in anyway possible. After you read this i probably will erase it so everyone doesn't know my business you know but I've never had a problem with my spleen ever before and it kind of shocked me when they came back and told me that. Plus my common bile duct was dilated as well and my gallbladder had been removed about over 10 years ago so i have no idea about that at all. I've gotta make an appointment with my GI Dr and i didn't know that they were tbe ones who dealth either that because that's why my regular Doctor sent me to a surgeon and i also did hear that they don't like taking the spleen out unless necessary because it helps you fight off all the bad stuff in you're system. It's literally you're defense for you're immune system when fighting off infections so they don't like to take it out i heard unless they possibly haft to. But there is some type or underlying reason that is making the spleen to enlarge because otherside people that have been in bad accidents and it has been injured they will take it out but if it's just out of nowhere they need to do more specific bloodwork there are special kinds and also cat scans of course and sometimes if they need to they will do an Mri. But yes i agree it's very painful i can agree with that and i will be so glad when they find out what's going on with me because I'm tired of suffering all the time it's not right and i hope that they give you answers as well and find out what's going on with you as well because nobody should haft to suffer because as the old saying goes. You get sick and tired of being sick and tired for real. I just wanna feel normal again like i used to and I'm sure you do as well. Mention any symptoms to you're Doctor that you have because you never know they could play a key factor in something. It doesnt hurt to mention whatever symptoms you maybe experiencing because you never know if it could be related somehow. Good luck to you my friend and let me know how things are going. I will keep you in my prayers and try not to stress because it aggravates it even more. Best wishes and God Bless!!
