The spleen can enlarge obliquely due to various underlying conditions, such as infections, liver diseases, or hematological disorders. This oblique enlargement often occurs because of the spleen's anatomical connections and its position relative to surrounding organs. As it enlarges, it may push against adjacent structures, leading to a distortion of its shape rather than uniform swelling. This irregular growth pattern can also be influenced by the presence of tumors or cysts within the spleen.
The spleen plays a role in filtering the blood and immune response, so it can be affected by infections like mono (mononucleosis). In mono, the spleen can become enlarged and work harder to help fight the infection, which can lead to symptoms like abdominal pain and tenderness. It's important to avoid strenuous physical activity if you have an enlarged spleen due to mono to prevent complications like splenic rupture.

No. There is no treatment/cure for mono. The body has to fight it on its own; mono is rarely fatal, so there isn't much to worry about. But your spleen can rupture if you exercise (mono enlarges the spleen), so strict bed-rest is highly recommended.

Common symptoms include fatigue, a pale complexion, and fever, along with sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. The increased immune activity can lead to a feeling of general malaise and weakness. It's important to rest and stay hydrated during recovery.
