Spleen size: Studies show splenic size varies in adults around 11-14cm is within normal range. If you feel well, continue to optimize your healthy living and your physician can monitor any changes in a follow up appointment in 6 months to a year. Treat your iron deficiency per your MD advice. Good luck.
