Splenomegaly (Enlargement of the Spleen): Therapy

Therapy of splenomegaly (splenomegaly) depends on the underlying disease.

If the underlying disease cannot be treated or if hypersplenism occurs as a complication of splenomegaly (e.g., anemia (anemia), thrombocytopenia (lack of platelets), granulocytopenia, i.e., decrease in neutrophil granulocytes) that cannot be controlled, splenectomy (surgical removal of the spleen) is an option.
