One of my uncle was suffering from enlarged spleen. There were no words to explain his suffering. Finally his spleen was removed.
Here are some facts about enlarged spleen which i feel will explain things with medical language. I have gathered the following info from a website. The source is given below.
Many disorders, including infections, anemias, and cancers, can cause an enlarged spleen.
Symptoms are usually not very specific but can include fullness or pain in the upper left abdomen or back.
Usually doctors can feel an enlarged spleen, but x-rays and other imaging tests may be used to determine how large the spleen is.
Treating the disorder that is causing the spleen to enlarge usually takes care of the problem, but sometimes the spleen must be removed.
An enlarged spleen does not cause many symptoms, and the symptoms that it does cause may be mistaken for many other medical conditions. Because the enlarged spleen lies next to the stomach and sometimes presses against it, people may feel full after eating a small snack or even without eating. People may also have abdominal or back pain in the area of the spleen. The pain may spread to the left shoulder, especially if parts of the spleen do not get enough blood and start to die.
Usually, doctors can feel an enlarged spleen during a physical examination. An x-ray of the abdomen may also show that the spleen is enlarged. In some cases, ultrasonography or computed tomography (CT) is needed to determine how large the spleen is and whether it is pressing on other organs

Surgical removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be necessary but can cause problems, including an increased susceptibility to infections
