A member asked:
What happens if a swollen spleen burst and blood spills into the abdomen?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Emergency!: The spleen is a very vascular organ; if the spleen ruptures and internal bleeding develops, this is an emergency that requires either surgery or a procedure to occlude the bleeding vessels asap.

You will die unless: Emergent action is taken to stop the bleeding and to remove the ruptured spleen.
