Concerns About Enlarged Spleen and Gastric Issues - #38308

Client_2eea0f

I have a problem of enlarged Spleen, the current size of it is 22cm. I have diagnosed with AutoimmuneHemolytic Anemia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. But now after 3years of treatment it turn out that's not the correct diagnosis for me because my ANA and DCT report came negative. My allopathic doctor suggest me to do a bown marrow and pet ct scan test again, they think it can be a lower grade lymphoma. But after review of bone marrow trephine biopsy with IHC: no features to make a diagnosis of NHL is found. I am very scared of this tests and in my this age i don't think i will survive those. I have a chronic problem of acidity, dysentery and digestive since my childhood. I want to know two things: 1. Is my gastric problem has any connection with the engagement of spleen. (Because i have noticed that when i am too much suffering with my gastric problems the spleen starts growing rapidly). 2. Is there any helpful treatment for me in ayurveda so i can contact... I am totally helpless if any one can give me any current suggestions i will be very grateful.

Hello I can understand how distressing it must feel to live with long-term digestive issues and the worry about spleen enlargement. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT-

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Punarnavadi Mandura – 1 tablet twice daily after meals (supports liver–spleen function and corrects anemia).

2 Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals (enhances Agni and reduces Ama).

3 Triphala Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily (improves bowel movement and reduces inflammation).

4 Kumariasava – 15 ml with equal water after meals (mildly digestive and strengthening).

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✅Do’s:

Eat freshly cooked, warm meals regularly at fixed times. Include mung dal, bottle gourd (lauki), ridge gourd, red rice, pomegranate, dates, and cow ghee. Sip warm water infused with jeera, ajwain, or dry ginger. Take buttermilk seasoned with roasted cumin and rock salt after lunch. Practice deep breathing or Nadi Shodhana pranayama daily to reduce stress-related Vata aggravation.

❌Avoid:

Cold, stale, fried, and packaged foods. Skipping meals or eating late at night. Overthinking, emotional stress, and irregular sleep patterns. Excess tea, coffee, and alcohol.

✅ Rejuvenation (Rasayana)

Once digestion improves and spleen size stabilizes:

Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 tsp daily in the morning to restore vitality.

Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) decoction daily – 30 ml (acts as a gentle immune modulator and spleen tonic).

By treating the root — your digestion — Ayurveda aims to gradually normalize spleen function and strengthen blood tissues naturally.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

In Ayurveda, the spleen (pliha) is a part of rakta vaha drotas- the body’s blood and immunity system. It helps -purify blood -store and release red blood cells -support the liver and digestion indirectly When your digestion is weak for years, the food you eat doesn’t get fully digested. This produces 'Ama"- a sticky, toxic waste Ama then mixes with blood and blocks circulation I the liver spleen area-> causing congestion and swelling of the spleen

You mentioned acidity, loose motion (dysntry) and irregular meals for more than 10 years In Ayurveda, this is called Amlapitta (acid peptic imbalance) ad grahani dosha (malabsorption syndrome) These conditions weaken Agni(digestive fire). when agni is weak -food doesnt digest properly -nutrient aren’t absorbed -ama (toxins) accumulate in the intestines, liver and spleen

So, both your gastric issues and spleen enlargement are connected- the root cause is poor digestio and toxin accumulation

WHY YOUR SPLEEN ENLARGES DURING GASTRIC DISTRESS When digestion flares up (gas, indigestion, acidity, loose stools) -liver and spleen get more congested due to poor metabolism -bllod purification slows down, causing more stagnation -Hence, you feel pain, heaviness, or an increase in spleen size during gastric attacks This is a classic Pitta-kapha-ama imbalance

TREATMENT GOALS -reignite digestive fire to digest food and remove toxins -eliminate toxins- clean the body from accumulated waste -reduce splenic congestion- shrink the spleen naturally by improving circulation and metabolism -correct liver function as liver and spleen are interlinked -rebuild strength

INTERNALLY

1) AMA PACHANA AND AGNI DEEPANA (TOXIN REMOVAL + DIGESTION ACTIVATION)

-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey before meals =burns ama, improves appetite and metabolism

-AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =cleans liver and spleen, improves digestion

-GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =natural detoxifier and immune stabilizer

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals =reduces gas and bloating

DURATION= 6-8 weeks goal= cleanse digestive channels and prepare spleen specific mediciens

2) PLIHA SHAMANA (SPLEEN REDUCING AND LIVER SUPPORT)= start after 6 weeks of above treatment

-PUNARNAVA MANDOOR= 2 tab twice daily after meals =reduces spleen/liver enlargement, improves blood count

-KUMARYASAVA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily after meals =improves liver spleen function, helps digestion

-PIPPALI RASAYANA= 1 tsp with honey once daily =rejuvenates spleen , strengthens immunity

DURATION= 3-6 months

3) GRAHANI AND AMLA PITTA (gut healing)= when needed

-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals =balances acidity, relieves burning

-BUTTERMILK= daily after lunch with cumin and rock salt =restors gut flora. , reduces loose motions

-BILVADI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water =controls dysentry, strengthens intestines

ONCE DIGESTION AND SPEELN SYMPTOMS IMPROVE

CHYAWANPRASHA=1 tsp morning empty stomach =nourishes tissues, supports immunity

DRAKSHASAVA= 10 ml twice daily =improves blood, quality, mild tonic

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) PASTE ON SPLEEN AREA= application of castor oil + punarnavadi paste=reduces swelling

HOME REMEDIES AND HERBAL SUPPORT -Cumin-coriander-fennel water= boil 1 tsp each in 4 cups water-> sip all day= helps digestion, acidity, bloating -Aloe vera juice 15 ml every morning- improve liver and spleen health -pAPAYA LEAF EXTRACT very mild- natural spleen tonic -DRY GINGER + HONEY small amount before meals- boosts agni -Warm water only- no cold or iced drinks

DIET -warm, light, freshly cooked foods -moong dal khichdi, botole gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, ash gourd -riice with ghee in small quantity -steamed vegetales, clears soups, green gram -buttermilk with cumin and rock salt after lunch’ -fruits= pomegranate, apple, papaya avoid citrus in acidiy

AVOID -spicy, sour, oily, deep fried foods -curd especially at night -alcohol,coffee, tea, carbonated dribks -leftover or reheated food -long gaps or skipping meals

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early -drink warm water -eat meals at regular times- never skip -sleep early avoid screen use before bed

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana= sit In this posture after meals 5-10 min -pawanmuktasana= relieves gas and bloating -ardha matsyendrasana= tones spleen and liver -Nadi sodhana= balances pitta and stress -Bhramari= calming and improves oxygenation

Avoid strong abdominal postures when spleen is enlarged

-Your condition is reversible in many cases- once digestio improves and toxins reduces, spleen often regains near normal size gradually

DO FOLLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Yes, chronic gastric issues and spleen enlargement can be interconnected in Ayurveda, where both are linked to imbalances in Agni (digestive fire), Rasa-Rakta Dhatu, and the lymphatic system. Ayurvedic treatment for splenomegaly (Plihodara) focuses on regulating digestion, reducing inflammation, and supporting blood and lymphatic health through herbs.

Connection Between Gastric Issues and Spleen Enlargement In Ayurveda, the spleen (Pliha) is closely related to: - Rasa and Rakta Dhatu (plasma and blood tissues) - Agni (digestive fire) - Apana and Samana Vata (gut motility and elimination) When digestion is weak—due to irregular meals, chronic acidity, dysentery, or emotional stress—it leads to: - Ama formation (toxic residue) - Rakta Dushti (impure blood) - Lymphatic congestion, which can manifest as Plihodara (splenomegaly)

Ayurvedic Treatment Suggestions for Splenomegaly & Digestive Support----

1.Arogyavardhini vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Ama pachak vati 2 tab twice daily with water before meals 3.Punarnavadi kashayam 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 4.Vriddhi vadhika vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 5.Pippali rasayan 1 tsp with warm milk empty stomach in the morning

Lifestyle & Dietary Support - Eat warm, soft meals: Khichdi, boiled vegetables, pomegranate, and buttermilk with roasted cumin. - Avoid: Raw salads, sour foods, fermented items, and skipping meals. - Include: Cumin-fennel-coriander tea, Punarnava root decoction, and Triphala-infused water. - Gentle Yoga: Apana Vata–balancing poses like Child’s Pose, Supta Baddha Konasana, and Viparita Karani.

The connection between your gastric issues and an enlarged spleen might be more indirect, but it’s important to consider how digestive health influences overall system balance, including the spleen. In Ayurveda, spleen enlargement can be related to imbalances in the Ranjaka Pitta and Sadhaka Pitta, and poor digestion indicates weak Agni (digestive fire), which can further stress these doshas.

To address your first question, while enlarged spleen mostly won’t directly stem from digestive problems, chronic digestive issues can contribute to general systemic imbalances, potentially affecting organs like the spleen indirectly. For instance, impaired digestion may lead to accumulation of Ama (toxins), which can weaken immune functions and contribute to disorders affecting the spleen indirectly.

As for Ayurvedic interventions, the focus would be on strengthening your Agni and reducing Ama. You can start with diet modifications: reduce intake of spicy, oily foods and include more freshly cooked meals. Avoid raw and cold foods which increase Vata and hinder digestion. Cumin, coriander, and fennel can be incorporated into meals to support digestion.

Additionally, consuming warm ginger tea before meals may boost your digestive fire. Trikatu churna (a blend of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) can also be beneficial to digest Ama, taken with honey 30 minutes before meals.

For chronic acidity, taking Amlapitta mishran or Avipattikar churna with warm water can aid in balancing excessive Pitta, improving gastric symptoms.

Yoga and Pranayama practices like gentle twists and deep breathing can enhance digestive health and relieve stress, potentially aiding in balancing the body and mind.

However, since your situation seems complex, with potential serious conditions involved, it’s crucial to work closely with healthcare providers to ensure all interventions, Ayurvedic or otherwise, are appropriate for your specific condition. Always consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal treatments, especially alongside ongoing allopathic care.
