Enlarged Spleen Self Test

To check for an enlarged spleen, perform a self-test by palpating under the left rib cage, using percussion techniques, and observing for any discomfort, bulges, or changes in sound.

Reducing an enlarged spleen naturally involves addressing the underlying cause, such as managing infections or liver diseases, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding activities that strain the spleen.

The Middleton maneuver is a clinical technique for palpating the spleen, where the patient takes a deep breath while the doctor presses the left lower rib cage, checking for spleen enlargement.
