What do you know about them?


The spleen is an important organ in our body, located on the upper left side of our abdomen, under the ribs. It filters the blood in our body, removes old red blood cells, and strengthens our immune system.

Infection

The spleen is the most important part of our immune system and is affected by various diseases such as viral and bacterial infections.

Like mononucleosis, this virus spreads through saliva and causes the spleen to enlarge.
Hepatitis Hepatitis, along with liver diseases, also has a profound effect on our spleen.
This parasite, which spreads through the bite, enters the bloodstream, causing our spleen to enlarge.

Liver diseases

The liver and spleen work together in our body's circulatory system. If our liver has a problem or malfunctions, it will affect our health.

In this way, wounds start forming inside our liver, blood pressure increases, due to which our spleen also gets infected. If our liver is infected or inflamed, then blood pressure also increases in the spleen.

Autoimmune system

These diseases consider the body's own cells as enemies, so they attack them, which also affects the spleen.

Sometimes these diseases make our body's immune system more active, which causes the spleen to destroy more blood cells. Sometimes these diseases enlarge the spleen and reduce blood cells.

You or someone you know has or had spleen problems?

My relative does not have any such disease, but I have a friend whose father was unwell and was admitted to the hospital. I went to visit him in the hospital. In the room he was in, a patient was brought to the company next to him who was very unwell. He looked very sick. His face had turned pale and he would repeatedly feel pain when he placed his hand on the outside of his stomach. The nurse was monitoring him and the doctor would also check in occasionally.

We asked the nurse what had happened to him. She told me that he had a disease called splenic rupture, which causes pain in his stomach. She also told me that his condition was very bad. If things did not go well, he might have to undergo surgery. Seeing all this, I realized how precious health is and especially that the presence of family and close people is also very important for a patient during illness.

What steps can we take to keep our spleen healthy and prevent it from diseases?

The spleen filters the food inside our body and strengthens our body's immune system, so we should eat foods that strengthen and energize our spleen.

Using healthy things

Eating lentils, apples, meat, etc. does not cause blood loss in our body and does not put much pressure on our spleen. Apart from this, we should also eat foods that contain vitamin C, such as mulberries, strawberries. Eating such things also strengthens our system. Eating walnuts, etc. reduces inflammation in the body and makes the spleen healthier.

Drink more water

Drink plenty of water. Water purifies the blood and flushes out harmful substances from our body. We should drink 10 to 15 glasses of water daily to reduce constipation and keep our body hydrated and our spleen functioning properly.

Exercise regularly

The spleen plays a very important role in our body. We should keep our spleen healthy by exercising daily. Exercising increases blood flow. The blood keeps moving, which also protects our spleen from various diseases. Sitting for too long or too much makes our blood thick, due to which the spleen has to work harder and it starts to grow. We should exercise for at least 30 minutes daily and drink eight to ten glasses of water regularly.

Protect the body from infection

The spleen protects our body from various diseases, so we should be careful about some things that can cause disease in our spleen. We should make it a habit to wash our hands regularly, both before and after eating, so that no bacteria or viruses enter our body. To prevent diseases, we should get vaccinated regularly, brush our teeth daily, and drink plenty of water.

Avoid smoking and alcohol

We should avoid things that are harmful to our body and liver, such as alcohol and smoking. Smoking weakens white blood cells, which makes the spleen work harder and increases its size, so we should avoid these things.
