In traditional medicine, such as Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, the spleen plays an important role, while it is often underestimated in Western medicine. The spleen, about the size of a fist or a coffee bean, weighs around 150–200g and is the largest organ of the lymphatic system. It is located in the left upper abdomen and is protected by the ribs. The spleen is surrounded by an extensible connective tissue capsule and often has accessory spleens, which can potentially take over the function of the main spleen in the event of a ruptured spleen. Functions of the spleen: Immune system: The spleen is essential for the immune system. It is responsible for the differentiation and proliferation of B and T lymphocytes, which recognize and fight pathogens. Blood filtration: The spleen filters and destroys old and damaged blood cells, especially red blood cells, and works closely with the liver. Our entire blood volume is pumped through the spleen several hundred times every day. Blood storage: The spleen stores approximately 3–5% of cardiac output and can release up to 200 ml of blood into the circulation when blood demand increases, such as during physical exertion or emergency situations. Diseases of the spleen: Splenic rupture: Usually occurs due to blunt force and can lead to life-threatening bleeding. A ruptured spleen should be treated immediately; surgery is sometimes required. Enlarged spleen: Can be caused by blood disorders, infections, or blood congestion. An enlarged spleen can cause pressure or pain and should be treated if necessary. Ruptured spleen and its dangers: After accidents such as horseback riding or bicycle accidents, the spleen can rupture, which can lead to severe internal bleeding. A ruptured spleen, also known as a splenic rupture, is an emergency and requires immediate medical treatment. Symptoms can occur immediately or may not become noticeable for hours or days. Therefore, in the case of serious sports injuries, you should consult a doctor as a precaution, even if there are no obvious symptoms. The spleen is a complex organ whose functions and importance for health are often underestimated. A healthy lifestyle and regular medical checkups can help maintain spleen health and address problems promptly. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With "Video Visit Dr. Weigl," you have found the current and medical-scientific channel that describes topics related to pain, #medicine, and #health in an understandable way, but based on facts, guidelines, and studies. ▬ Weigl's MedNight: The video podcast with Bonn University Hospital ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Spotify: https://spoti.fi/42EJfPT ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Atrial fibrillation: When your heart loses its rhythm!: https://bit.ly/Vorhofflimmern_Video Stroke: First aid & saving lives in the event of a stroke: http://bit.ly/Schlaganfall_Video Our heart and circulatory system explained simply: https://bit.ly/Herz_Video First signs of depression: https://bit.ly/DepressionAnzeichen_Video Chronically ill due to lack of sleep: http://bit.ly/SchlafenSchlafmangel_Video ▬ Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►Facebook: https://bit.ly/facebook_DrWeigl ►Website: https://doktorweigl.de ►TikTok:   / doktorweigl   ►Instagram:   / doktorweigl   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Legal Notice / Disclaimer: These videos are for your information only and never replace personal advice, examination, or diagnosis by a licensed, qualified medical specialist.
