While a wide variety of diseases are associated with enlargement of the spleen, 6 etiologies of splenomegaly are considered primary, including (1) immune response work hypertrophy such as in subacute bacterial endocarditis or infectious mononucleosis; (2) RBC destruction work hypertrophy such as in hereditary spherocytosis or thalassemia major; (3) congestive such as in splenic vein thrombosis or portal hypertension; (4) myeloproliferative such as in chronic myeloid metaplasia; (5) infiltrative such as in sarcoidosis and some neoplasms; and (6) neoplastic such as in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and the lymphomas. Miscellaneous causes of splenomegaly include trauma, cysts, hemangiomas, metastasis, giant abscess, and certain drugs.
You'll have to look up the details and treatment on your own.

Splenomegaly is usually associated with increased workload (such as in hemolytic anemias), which suggests that it is a response to hyperfunction.
It is therefore not surprising that splenomegaly is associated with any disease process that involves abnormal red blood cells being destroyed in the spleen.

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/VM1MU
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.

The spleen enlarges due to manufacture of blood cells in aplactic anemia, and in involvement by leukemia or lymphomas, and in diseases such as cirrhosis of liver.
