I think I've to have aoperation for my fibroid problem. But I know nothing about the spleen problem. my question is how this problem occurs and what should I do to solve this problem.

There are a number of conditions that can cause the spleen to enlarge so not sure just what is causing yours. The biggest worry with an enlarged spleen is that it becomes vulnerable to rupture should you receive any kind of trauma to the abdomen. You should not play any kind of contact sports or engage in any activities that could result in a blow to the stomach. Ruptured spleens are common in car wrecks and a person can bleed to death from a ruptured spleen fairly quickly. Find out just what is causing your problem and follow your doctors orders to the letter.

The spleen can become enlarged for a variety of reasons. Commonly, it is a response to an infection such as mono. Other causes are liver disease, conditions that affect blood or lymph system, or cancer. You should follow up with your doctor to find out the cause.
