Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Spleen
I was diagnosed with a slightly enlarged spleen (by palpation and sonogram) Whenever I lift something heavy or bend over a certain way I feel it popping out. Do you think I would eventually need a splenectomy? Thank you. Donna Leone YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Enlarged spleen does not necessarily means we have to remove it. It has number of reasons and most of them are fully treatable and reversible. I suggest you to visit your doctor to see the causes of enlarged spleen and get treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
