What Does A Polyp On The Spleen Indicate?
My daughter has what appears to be a polyp on her spleen. Her Doc has said it can lead to cancer and needs to be checked annually. It is small. She has had a load of bloating, tummy pain earlier on and her bowel is not functioning freely as it should. Doc has given her the equivalent of metamucil, enema s etc etc. The ultrasound has just shown this wee cyst like thing. Thanks for your help.
