Symptoms of a ruptured spleen?
If your spleen ruptures beyond repair then you must have it removed in a procedure called a splenectomy. As a consequence of a non functioning spleen you will be at an increased likelihood of blood bacterial infections.

There maybe other smaller side-effects of having a splenectomy, but you can live without one. I have been living without a spleen now for 5 years, I am currently 35 years old. I lost my spleen in a motor cycle accident. The doctor told me that the only thing that I had to worry about was an increased risk for pnemonia. If I was having trouble fighting off a cold then I should go get it checked out. The only side effect that I seem to have is that my nose tends to run more frequently than I remember. I have done nothing different with my diet or excersise since having my spleen removed. I don't even get flu shots because I never went to get them before. In the past five years I have only gotten one cold that concerned me enough to cause me to go to the doctor, just for safety sake they gave me some antibiotics to ensure that I did not get pnemonia.
