Hi.
There may be another reason/s for enlargement of spleen and cystitis.
These can not cause diarrhea.
Diarrhea, weakness and lack of appetite can be caused by an intestinal problem, the generalized problem like typhoid, tuberculosis, malaria and many more. You need a thorough clinical check-up and a battery of blood , urine and stool tests.
