Hey this is Chandan and I am 22 year old. I was diagnosed with splenomegaly and was admitted for hepatitis A relapse two years ago. My spleen right now measures upto 18 cms in length. It has been this large for the last two to three years. My doctors are not pretty sure about the exact cause behind the same. My family doctor suspects it to be a liver problem since my bilrubin count had went up to 30.9 during my hepatitis A relapse. I am having a lot for problems due to low immunity. I also suffered from bronchitis in my teen years though its under control now. But still I suffer from a lot of problems due to heavy cough and cold due to sinuses. My diet is not much balanced at this moment and probably has been having an adverse effect on my health. I don't drink, but I did drink a certain amount of alcohol past year which I have completely cut out. Also I don't smoke but do hang out with people and friends who do. I recently met a good ayurvedic doctor who mentioned that my prognosis is pointing towards Wilson's disease though my neuro surgeon had denied the possibility after a test. I am pretty frustrated at this moment due to what the doctor has told me. Also my life is kind of a mess. All this has been affecting my life lately. I would like to know whether is there anything I could do to get my spleen back to normal and become physically fit again. Thank you. Regards Chandan Pednekar
