Splenomegaly refers to the abnormal enlargement of the spleen, which can result from infections, liver disease, cancers, or immune system disorders. While it may cause no symptoms in some cases, others may experience pain or a feeling of fullness in the upper left abdomen. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and, in severe cases, may involve surgical removal of the spleen.
