What Shape Should A Spleen Be In An Abdominal Ultrasound?
what shape should a spleen be in an abdominal ultrasound (today)? Hello Dr.Mintz, The 3 pains during the ultrasound were: under left rib front (worst), near solar plexis, & right front (Tech. said she was trying to move gas out of the way). It hurts left ribs/low to take a deep breath. I m worried what it is until results come tomorrow. Many Thanks! Customer Care dept. wrote me I can have a free answer because I don t have any smart phone. Thank you.

hi.
to answer your question, spleen is spherical, somewhat round in shape, situated on the left upper quadrant of your abdomen. the pain you are experiencing may or may not be related to your spleen. it could be pulmonary/pleuritic in origin. it is best if you consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ct-scan, chest xray, etc.) and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
