People with enlarged spleens may have no symptoms. In such cases, the doctor may take a wait-and-see approach for six to 12 months. However, if an individual begins to bleed more easily than normal, is anemic, or has frequent infections, that is cause for concern. Those with noticeable pain or fullness in the upper left abdomen that gets worse with deeper breathing should seek medical treatment immediately.
