Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had colon cancer five years ago. I am having upper left abdominal pain and upper left back back presently. I was just diagnosed with Epstein Barr a few months ago and it has caused my spline to enlarge several times. My fatigue and pain is getting so much worse. Now my new symptom is diarrhea.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your pain and fatigue are suggestive of splenomegaly (large spleen). The diarrhea can be a consequence of the spleen impacting on your large bowel, allowing only loose stool to pass to your rectum. I suggest you to have an ultrasound and colonoscopy to assess your spleen again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
