Should I Go For Repeated Blood Tests If Having An Enlarged Spleen?

2 years ago my spleen showed up enlarged 14cm, my blood was ok just my white blood count was a liitle low but still within the norm. I have been under observation since then going for blood test and ultrasound. As off 6 months ago my spleen went down to 12.7cm and my blood is ok according to my hematologist. Should I be getting additional testing or is this method sufficient. I have another appointment scheduled in a couple of weeks to check spleen and blood again.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your spleen is enlarged. It may be due to your infection. You are going on right tract. Just monitoring of spleen size and blood count is sufficient. If you don't recover then you should go for bone marrow examination.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
