Are Physical Exercises Advisable While Having An Enlarged Spleen?

In September last year at usg I were diagnosed with splenomegaly (126mmx63mm). I did analyzes at epstein-barr with results: EA IgG - negative NA IgG - positive (1:10) VCA IgM - negative VCA IgG - positive (1:10) VCA IgG-avidity-avidity high Now in January I went to usg again and the spleen had 149mmx58mm. Could you please tell, if physical exercises are allowed in this situation? Thank you.

Hello,

Please note that enlarged spleen is prone to rupture with blunt trauma to abdomen. So, sports or heavy to moderate exercises should be avoided. Avoid any activity which strains abdomen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
