Patient's question:
The baby next door has been complaining of abdominal pain recently, poor digestion, fatigue, and a slightly pale complexion. The doctor at the hospital said they have chronic congestive splenomegaly. Is traditional Chinese medicine effective for treating pediatric chronic congestive splenomegaly?Doctor's answer:
When the disease presents with severe hypersplenism, splenectomy should be considered. The postoperative prognosis varies depending on the location of the obstruction and the surgical procedure. If the obstruction is within the splenic vein, the outcome after resection is better and the condition can be treated. In cases of intrahepatic or portal vein lesions, bleeding may still occur after splenectomy, but hypersplenism can be alleviated.
