A member asked:
Is it possible to have a ruptured spleen so mild that you live 3-4 years without knowing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: ruptured spleen comes in various grades from mild to severe. Most mild to moderate stages are managed with bed rest and observation. A mild grade one could go unnoticed and therefore untreated.
