10 Enlarged Spleen Symptoms
3. Early Satiety
Early satiety can be described as requiring less amount of food in order to reach the usual level of food-related satiety. It is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions. Usually, this symptom can be seen in common gastrointestinal tract (GI) disorders like gastritis and gastroenteritis but it can also be associated with more severe conditions like stomach cancer and other disorders that are not necessarily GI-related.
Due to the proximity of the spleen and the stomach, it is common to see the enlarged spleen push against the stomach. This causes can cause the stomach to have a reduced capacity, resulting in early satiety.
