A member asked:
I have a spleenic infarction caused by infection having abdominal pains does it need to be corrected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can't be fixed.: The underlying infection needs to be treated. However, once the spleen infarcts, that portion is dead and eventually scar. As the scar heals, your pain should resolve.
