Hypersplenism
Hypersplenism is a condition in which the spleen works excessively and retains or destroys more blood cells than usual, which can reduce their number in the blood.
Possible manifestations: They usually stem from the decrease in blood cells, such as fatigue, a greater tendency to bruising or bleeding, or more frequent infections.
Common causes: It frequently accompanies other diseases that cause an increase in the size of the spleen or alter the blood.
Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the doctor who studies the behavior of the spleen and of the blood cells in this case. If you notice significant fatigue, bleeding, or repeated infections, it is worth discussing it in a medical evaluation.
