A member asked:

If i was able to feel my spleen would i have pain and more symptoms? maybe i'm not feeling my spleen

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: It is not usually possible to palpate a normal spleen. Spleens that are palpable are abnormal and enlarged generally as in infectious mononucleosis and other hematologic disorders.

Dr Hegab and another doctor agreed
