10 Enlarged Spleen Symptoms
7. Fatigue
Fatigue can be described as a general feeling of exhaustion. Usually, this symptom improves with adequate rest, but depending on the source of the problem, it may not improve at all. It can be triggered by exercise, stress, and work-related activities. It is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions like anemia and anxiety, to name a few.
The spleen is in charge of filtering abnormal red blood cells (RBC). Some blood-related disorders like thalassemia major and spherocytosis can cause the spleen to work over-time, causing it to become enlarged. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms associated with anemia in these patients.
