Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is 18 5 7 she was dx with an enlatged spleen at 16cm. All blood work came back normal. Saw gastro today and he said ibs. My daughter feels unsatisfied with that dx and says the pain is too much to ibs any other ideas or what other dr to see.
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Enlarged spleen has many causes like infection, anemias, lymphoreticular disease etc, a long list is there. So I will advise you to visit a physician who will take a detailed history and evalute accordingly. You daughter is right because IBS has nothing to do with spleen enlargement.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
