What does the spleen do, and what happens if it gets damaged? - #14677
I recently heard that the spleen is an important part of the immune system, but I don’t fully understand what it does. It seems like one of those organs that people don’t think about unless something goes wrong. What exactly is the function of the spleen, and why is it important for overall health? I read that it helps filter blood and fight infections—does that mean people without a spleen have weaker immune systems? I also want to understand what happens if the spleen gets damaged or becomes enlarged. What are the symptoms of an unhealthy spleen, and when should someone see a doctor? Also, are there Ayurvedic treatments or lifestyle changes that help keep the spleen healthy? If anyone has had spleen problems before, what was the cause, and how was it treated? Did you need medical intervention, or were there natural ways to improve spleen function?
