Can a suction abortion cause an enlarged spleen or liver problems? how long would it take to know if there was a problem or internal bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Your procedure should not cause liver or spleen enlargement. Anesthesia might cause a reaction or allergic response but these are usually discovered right away.

See your Doc to address your concerns, it’s unlikely that a suction D&C caused organ damage other than uterine perforation. Take care.

Question 5

Non alcoholic fatty liver can cause portal hypertension which is a cause of spleen enlargement. Portal hypertension means that there is increased pressure and abnormal blood flow in portal vein system. Portal vein brings blood to the liver.

Question 6

Would 2 nights of heavy drinking cause an enlarged spleen? if the liver is perfectly healthy? if so would it go back to normal not drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

and am not sure how you know your spleen is enlarged.  If you had some kind of scan or ultrasound, you need to be asking the doctor who ordered that test. The spleen does not enlarge in alcohol-related disease until the liver is very very sick (cirrhosis). Many things can cause splenic enlargement, and only your physician can figure it out with full history, examination and appropriate tests.

Fever with enlarged spleen and liver (hepatosplenomegaly) in a child can be a variety of things. Many viral infections--Epstein-Barr and CMV in particular--could do this.

Consult with your pediatrician or possibly an ID specialist.

Question 9

My lab results show low white blood cell count & liver enzymes over 1000. found out i have enlarged spleen and cholecystitis. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Cholesystitis doesn't usually cause a low white count, enlarged spleen and severe elevation of liver enzymes. Chronic hepatitis is suggested. It could be viral or autoimmune. A gastroenterologist should be involved in your care, and an abdominal surgeon should be consulted about the inflammation of the gall bladder which may be chronic rather than acute.

Question 10

What can you do if you have an enlarged spleen and liver?

Accepted Answer

It is important to determine the cause of the abnormality.  Enlargement of both liver and spleen is not a trivial matter.  Please see your doctor for a check and lab tests to determine the cause.
