Spleen disorders

Spleen disorders involve problems with the organ that filters blood, helps fight infections, and manages blood cell levels. Common issues include splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), which can cause pain or discomfort; infections affecting the spleen; and conditions like spleen rupture after injury. Sometimes, the spleen may not work properly, affecting immune function or blood cell regulation. These disorders can be caused by infections, blood diseases, or immune conditions. Treatment varies depending on the problem and may include medication, monitoring, or surgery in severe cases. Prompt diagnosis and management are important to prevent complications.
