Would i be able to tell if my spleen were enlarged?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not likely: The spleen is located toward the back and under the left ribs. The spleen would have to become quite large for someone to be able to feel it or cause local pressure feelings.

Maybe: It takes experienced hands to feel a spleen and know what normal and enlarged is.
