    Hello, the spleen of a normal person cannot be touched from the undersides. In cirrhosis, due to portal hypertension, the blood return of the spleen is blocked, the spleen gradually enlarges, and the spleen also undergoes proliferative enlargement. The spleen is enlarged, mostly 2 or 3 times of normal, and the lower edge of the spleen can reach the level of the flat umbilicus or subumbilicus, and the general spleen is enlarged to a certain extent and then no longer enlarged.

    The spleen may shrink if there is massive bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract or if portal venous pressure drops after surgery. An enlarged spleen is hard and nontender. However, a small number of patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension remain without splenomegaly.

    Hypersplenism refers to the destruction and isolation of blood cells by the enlarged spleen, the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in the blood is reduced, the general blood is small in the normal state generally can not touch the spleen, if the supine or right decubitus position may touch the edge of the spleen, it can be considered splenomegaly, in recent years, B ultrasound has been widely used in clinical practice, and a large number of "splenomegaly" that can not be touched by hand have been found, and about 15 people with splenomegaly are found in the health examination, most of which can not be touched by hand, B-ultrasonography shows that splenomegaly is actually measured, that is, it is truly large, and it can show that the spleen is enlarged earlier, and when the spleen can be palpated by hand, the spleen has more than doubled in size.

    The causes of splenomegaly are:

    1) Infectious splenomegaly. All kinds of acute and slow infections such as typhoid, paratyphoid, kala-azar, schistosomiasis, malaria, viral hepatitis, sepsis, late syphilis, etc.

    2) Bloody splenomegaly. Spotik's syndrome, cirrhosis, cardiogenic cirrhosis due to chronic heart failure, chronic constrictive pericarditis, portal or splenic vein thrombosis.

    3) Proliferative splenomegaly. It is seen in certain blood diseases such as leukemia, hemolytic anemia, malignant lymphoma, etc.

    4) Miscellaneous. Malignant tumors of the spleen are rare, spleen cysts, disseminated lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, polyarteritis nodosa, and Gaucher's disease.

    Due to the complexity of the cause of an enlarged spleen, except for a few artificial physiology, it should be searched for under the guidance of a doctor, and it should be reviewed regularly. The plate reduction is most noticeable.

    1. Surgical method for splenomegaly

    Splenectomy is mainly suitable for: congestive splenomegaly caused by portal hypertension, splenomegaly combined with hypersplenism (primary hypersplenism of unknown cause has a better surgical effect than secondary hypersplenism with inducement), primary splenic tumor, splenic cyst (whether true or false, due to easy secondary infection, hemorrhage, or even rupture), giant spleen caused by malaria and kala-azar disease.

    Certain hematopoietic disorders, such as hereditary spherocytosis (splenectomy is often effective), primary thrombocytopenic purpura (splenectomy is mostly effective), and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (splenectomy, about half of which are effective). Acute torsion of the migratory spleen, etc.

    2. Traditional Chinese medicine ** method for splenomegaly:

    Hepatosplenomegaly belongs to the categories of "ruffian", "symptomatic", "mass" and "fat" in traditional Chinese medicine. A lump is a lump in the abdomen, including hepatosplenomegaly. Hepatosplenomegaly should be analyzed according to the main symptoms of liver disease, taking into account the characteristics of wet phlegm, blood stasis and condensation and toxic heat entering the network, and the specific situation should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, with the basic principles of nourishing blood and softening the liver, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis.

    Those who are damp and hot are not cleared, supplemented by clear profits. Those who have toxic heat into the blood are supplemented by heat clearing and detoxification. Those with spleen deficiency should strengthen the spleen. Those who are deficient in qi and blood should nourish qi and blood.

    Today I talked about what are the ** methods of splenomegaly. It is recommended that patients eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement adequate vitamins and fiber, which also help promote digestive function.

    If there are no other medical conditions. Mild splenomegaly can be left alone. However, if it is too big, it is better to pay attention to whether there are cardiovascular or hematopoietic reasons.

    If it grows rapidly, be sure to go to the hospital to find out the cause. Always pay attention to your body. The second is to see if you are more prone to bleeding.

    If so, then it will have to be removed.

    The answer is supplemented. It doesn't make much sense. The result of splenomegaly is mainly the destruction of blood cells. If the blood cells are not destroyed severely. Or the blood system is not a big problem, you can leave it alone.
