Can beta thalasemia minor cause a slightly enlarged spleen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How slightly?: Is the spleen palpable? If so, it is more than slightly enlarged and beta thalassemia minor is not a likely cause. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
