Hi,

My spleen is also enlarged. My doc said not to worry, he'll just "keep an eye on it". He said that in utero the spleen and liver produce red cells and when we become chronically anaemic sometimes they try to produce red cells again and this causes them to enlarge in some people.

This may not be the story in your case and it's best for your doctor to determine if it's significant.

Regards.
