Please answer! what precautions should this patient take given his diagnosis of situs inversus?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on disease: A diagnosis of situs inversus does not adequately describe the manifestations to allow recommendations to be made. Situs inversus can be associated with various abnormalities which will determine the proper answer to your question.

Not a single entity: Situs inversus comes in 2 basic forms with variation in the amount and importance of associated abnormalities. These can involve the heart/lung/intestines/ spleen or spleens. You should consult with the doc who knows the case well for any such information.
