Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Splenomegaly is due to some chronic or recurrence infection and the spleen may need to be removed. Cardiopulmonary disease may also cause the spleen enlargement, the underlying cause is a matter of concern and regressing to normal size is less likely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
