I knew someone who had their spleen removed because they were in a car accident. She is fine without it.

I have had this done.When you go in they will show you a movie about Dysphlasia { not sure if I spelled it rite but you know what i mean}and how they remove it. What will happen if they do not get it all or it comes back.I know that you are scared.I was terrified.But remeber they caught it early which means chances are they will get it all the first time. As for the Leep it's self honestly it's not fun.But they do freeze the effected area before they do it.What I found more uncomfortable was having the freezing needles put in.I had some  cramping after that lasted about 3 days.I just took Motrin for it. I had to go back every 6 month for 2 years to have Biopsies taken just to be sure it did not come back. I now make sure that I never miss my pap.Good Luck if you need to talk feel free to e-mail me. Hope this helps some.

No pills. You have to use a cream. There are creams that work. I would try a contrast treatment - hot and cold treatments alternated. That would bring blood to the area to start the healing process. But don't take my advice without checking with a dr. first. It will take your breath away.

You could wax or remove with nair but youd have to do it all the time, a lot of hassle really.\nWhy dont you bleach it? With joleen. Its much easier.\n\nPlus, you might want to find out why you have facial hair, sometimes its a sign of PCOS. Get screened just in case.\nGood luck

One of the jobs of the spleen is to strain out any red blood cells that are irregularly shaped (in a healthy adult that would mean old cells that need to be replaced)  With an enlarged spleen there can be congestion of red blood cells.  If too many cells are collecting in the spleen then they are not circulating carrying oxygen...and the body can not replace them fast enough to compensate.  That is why if your spleen is enlarged it could affect your ability to perfuse your tissues adequately...but in humans it would be an extreme case of exertion before this would become an issue.

The surgery is a cosmetic change that is functional for penile-vaginal sex, but there is no womb, no ovaries, and no period associated with the new organs.\n\nSince there is no womb with the associated sloughing off of the uterine walls (monthly period), there can be no bleeding.\n\nIf you were a man and you woke up with a vagina, you would want to change it to a penis as soon as possible. Conversely, a woman doesn't want a penis attached to her body- she is not a man.\n\nThe surgery is primarily to be comfortable with your own body, a body that looks like it should without appendages stuck on your body at the most inconvenient places. For a woman, there is no convenient place for a penis to be attached to her body.

No idea on herbs but root vegetables will nourish the spleen, especially carrots and pumpkin.  Rice is very easily digestable too and so is millet and both have sweet flavour energetically.\nThe spleen does the sifting and sorting and it is important to take the time to eat and also not to drink to much whilst eating.

The spleen is a gland that is associated with the circulatory system, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells in holding a reservoir of blood.

There are a few different ways that tattoos are removed,\nDermabrasion, where skin is "sanded" to remove the surface and middle layers\nCryosurgery, where the area is frozen prior to its removal\nExcision, where the dermatologic surgeon removes the tattoo with a scalpel and closes the wound with stitches\nLasers, have become the standard treatment for tattoo removal because they offer a bloodless, low risk, effective alternative with minimal side effects.\n\nThey are much more expensive to remove then have put on, I have a friend that went with the laser option a small little flower above her breast and 4 visits later, it is slightly visible if you a know where it was, but looks good, it took her about 650 CDN to have it removed, but she is happier not having it.  A lot of the cost depends on the size, colour used, blues, reds and blacks take longer, they are deeper in the skin.  Also the location of where they are tattoos that see the sun, generally fade from the UV (my case, half is lighter then the other, where one side never sees the sun).  Also another determining factor is how well you heal.  \nThey will all generally leave a scar but there are alot of products out now for scars:  Sudden Change does one that you apply, Poly-sporin also has one for scars check out the pharmacy where you would find the first aid stuf: antibiotics (Ozonol, Poly-sporin, band aids etc.  They work quite well.  Because it's so old you may have a better chance at removal, the inks they used then were not as synthetic as today.\n\nGood Luck!

is a ductless, vertebrate gland that is not necessary for life but is closely associated with the circulatory system, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells and removal of other debris from the bloodstream, and also in holding a reservoir of blood. It is regarded as one of the centres of activity of the reticuloendothelial system. Until recently, the purpose of the spleen was not known. It is increasingly recognised that its absence predisposes to certain infections.\n\nThe absence of a spleen predisposes to some septicaemia infections. Vaccination and antibiotic measures are discussed under asplenia.\n\nSome people congenitally completely lack a spleen, although this is rare. \nSickle-cell disease can cause a functional asplenia (or autosplenectomy) by causing infarctions of the spleen during repeated sickle-cell crises. \nIt may be removed surgically (known as a splenectomy), and indeed often is. For example, it may be removed following abdominal injuries with rupture and hemorrhage of the spleen, or in the treatment of certain blood diseases (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, familial jaundice, hereditary spherocytosis, etc.), certain forms of lymphoma or for the removal of splenic tumours or cysts.

Hi, I am 47 and I recently had an operation to remove my blocked lymph node, also in my right armpit. The operation was done quickly with an anaesthetic injected into my armpit. No fuss, quick cut, quick scratch out, disinfectant (flush out). They do not stitch under your arm because of the fear of infection. After the operation, you have to flush the wound each morning and evening or more often if need be,  with hot water (as hot as you can bear) and then disinfect the wound with alchohol or suitable equivalent! Cover the wound lightly with lint and use a plaster (each time you flush) to fix it in place under your arm. After a couple of weeks, the "operation hole" closes naturally, and you are left with a little scar of about 1cm!\n\nI understand your thoughts fully though, I thought exactly the same..oh no..cancer, so I went straight to the emergency unit here in Switzerland and left without the lump after about 2 hours, most of which was waiting time!\n\nBut, I am not a doctor, so the best you can do is consult your GP first of all! Good luck!

When possible, a doctor treats the underlying disease that caused the enlarged spleen. Surgical removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be necessary but can cause problems, including an increased susceptibility to infections. However, the risks are worth taking in certain critical situations: when the spleen destroys red blood cells so rapidly that severe anemia develops; when it so depletes stores of white blood cells and platelets that infection and bleeding are likely; when it is so large that it causes pain or puts pressure on other organs; or when it is so large that parts of it bleed or die. As an alternative to surgery, radiation therapy can sometimes be used to shrink the spleen.
