How long does it take to heal a ruptured spleen?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
At least 3 months: We recommend to maintain precautions for at least three months, and in high risk patients (like someone playing contact sports) to obtain a repeat scan before being cleared to resume the risky activity.
