How does one know if they are having a problem with their spleen? Ive done a search and cant come up with signs and symptoms. Can nausea and such in the stomach be a symptom?

Hmmm, I don't know. I've had pain in that area before and couldn't find out much either. That was a few yrs ago.

editing to add: I just thought of looking up splenectomy.

Here's a link to some info on the spleen:

Abdominal CT scan. Doctor can palpate the abdomen as well, but a CT is the definitive test.

Thanks Lymetoo for the links. I just cant find one that tells me symptoms of a badly working spleen. Its just a shot in the dark for me.
