He also added that the pain felt in the upper left abdomen caused by an enlarged spleen hurts like heck.
Note that an enlarged spleen, a.k.a. splenomegaly, can also be caused by viral, bacterial, and other infections. Liver cirrhosis can lead to an enlarged spleen as well. So, if you feel discomfort in the upper left abdomen, it’s time to see a doctor.
