Will Diet Changes Help Treat An Enlarged Spleen?
I have been diagnosed with an enlarged spleen and fatty liver. I cannot see my doctor until mid-September.I have already started changes in my diet and exercise. I know this will help with the liver, but will it also help with the enlarged spleen? It s very uncomfortable to sit and I feel really miserable after eating only a small amount which I m presuming is due to the swelling. Also, will using a heating pad help?

nothing would help in that case..there are multiple causes of enlarged spleen..
i need to kbow your age, any history of fever, pain abdomen, weight loss history, alcohol intake history, and the size of spleen, need to check if ther are any other sites of lymph node enlargement..
fatty liver should noy cause any problems..but enlarged spleen needs to be evaluated ..see physician
