A member asked:
I have fluid around my spleen it showed up in an ultrasound, what does that mean? what should i do next?

Unclear: You will need to talk to the doctor who ordered the test to find out since it is highly unusual to have fluid around the spleen. If you have had recent abdominal trauma, then one must consider bleeding which would prompt immediate medical attention. Call the doctor now.
