The spleen is an organ about the size of a fist, located in the upper abdomen, between the ribs and the diaphragm, having a very important role for a strong immunity. It weighs about 200 grams and has a dark color. It swallows old red blood cells and does a kind of cleaning. Erythrocytes or red blood cells, when they finish their role, retire to the spleen and die. The spleen becomes a graveyard of red blood cells. But it continues its part, processes the dead erythrocytes and sends the remains into the circulating blood, for elimination. However, the spleen, in certain cases of illness, also eats the lymphocytes, those white blood cells that fight infections. When the spleen is enlarged due to other ailments, it also affects other blood cells, platelets, with an important effect on blood coagulation and fluidization, according to doctorulzilei.ro. Physical effort Considering that the spleen contains all the blood cells that have aged, tired, or dying, it is normal for intense physical exertion to lead to an agglomeration of such cells. The spleen has a limit to the number of blood cells it can “recycle”. If the body exceeds this limit due to various causes (intense physical exertion, infections – flu, cold, infected caries, ingrown nails, etc., hepatitis, tuberculosis, cirrhosis , cancer, malaria, rubella, autoimmune diseases, hydatid cyst, septicemia, mononucleosis – Epstein-Barr, blood diseases, etc.), the spleen swells and becomes painful. In the case of physical exertion, all you have to do is stop the activity and to give the spleen a break to process the large amount of blood cells that have accumulated in it. Trauma Another cause of spleen pain could be trauma, blows that can fracture it, split it, affecting it, in more serious cases, and the dishes. When the spleen enlarges due to negative effects, it can extend to the navel area. Sometimes, this important organ enlarges, reaching the size of the liver. Here are some diseases that enlarge it: hydatid cyst in the spleen or TB in the spleen or abscess in the spleen, which means an infection located in this organ. When the spleen is elongated, the person has a compressed diaphragm and can no longer breathe well, being able to make fluid in the lungs. This organ can also give a pain in the left shoulder. When it enlarges, it can press the colon and disturb the stool or the evacuation of gases. And some blood diseases lead to an enlarged spleen. In trauma, the great danger is bleeding. When the spleen is emptied of blood, the proper pumping of blood no longer occurs, which becomes poor in oxygen, leading the other organs to critical situations, writes exquis.ro.
