What is the concept of slightly enlarged spleen? Maybe many people don't understand it. My company organizes physical examination for its employees every year. Today, we have another physical examination. The doctor told me that my spleen is a little too large. I asked him why it was caused, but he didn't say. My health has always been very good. Let's take a look at the following.

What reason is spleen slightly bigger

First, infectious splenomegaly. All kinds of acute and chronic infections, such as typhoid, paratyphoid, Kala Azar, schistosomiasis, malaria, viral hepatitis, sepsis, late syphilis, etc

Second: splenomegaly due to stagnation of blood. Banti's syndrome, cirrhosis, cardiogenic cirrhosis caused by chronic heart failure, chronic constrictive pericarditis, portal vein or splenic vein thrombosis.

Third: To summarize your past examination, the thickness of the spleen is 35-40cm, which is not splenomegaly; in 2013, the thickness of the spleen was 43cm, which is slightly thicker, but the angle of measurement may be different, which will lead to completely different results.
