Normal spleen thickness is about 3 to 4 centimeters. Its length is 10 to 12 centimeters, width is 6 to 8 centimeters, and weight is approximately 100 to 200 grams. The spleen is mainly located in the left upper abdomen and is the largest immune organ in the human body. Everyone should pay special attention to the care and maintenance of the spleen, and should also take seriously any problems and conduct active examinations.
1. The spleen accounts for 20% of the total lymphatic content of the body, which shows its importance. It is generally fixed to the left upper abdomen by several ligaments, about the size of a normal person's fist. The health issues of the spleen are also issues that everyone cannot ignore in daily life. For example, the most common complications of cirrhosis, such as cirrhosis caused by alcoholic liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, or cirrhosis caused by schistosomiasis, may lead to hypersplenism or enlargement of the spleen.
2. These diseases are a major threat to human health, so one should pay attention to the health of the spleen in daily life. When discovering any discomfort, one should actively go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to eliminate the cause or undergo targeted treatment after confirming the disease to reduce the harm caused by it.
3. One should also pay attention to regulating one's spleen and stomach in daily life, as poor spleen and stomach health can easily lead to various blood system diseases, which may cause portal hypertension and other adverse issues. Therefore, one should also pay attention to diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and choose light and healthy meals.
