What are all the risk factors of splenomegaly?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: My wife is suffering from pain around the uterus. She is 16 weeks pregnant. Her doctor suggested for a urine test and ultrasound scan. Urine infection was detected and using medicines for it. But, the ultrasound scan report came as splenomegaly and low lying placenta. This is our second baby. She had a normal delivery previously without any issues. Her health condition was perfect. Now, there are no health issues except uterus pain during this pregnancy. We really afraid after seeing her scan report. I have attached the report for your reference. What would be the next step? What are all the risk factors? What precautions should we need to take? What is the reason for splenomegaly? Please help.

Condition analysis:
I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), which reveals a normal blood test with urine infection sensitive to Nitrofurantoin and two scans revealing a pregnancy with low lying or anterior placenta along with splenomegaly.

Urinary infection is common in pregnant state and she is on the right medicine. Ask her to drink plenty of water and evacuate her bladder frequently to prevent the development of this infection again.

Low lying placenta at this gestational age means nothing. This is the normal finding at this stage and so relax. In 90% cases the placenta will migrate up in normal position.

However, splenomegaly really needs a check up by a physician. You may do a rescan also to check whether the spleen was truly measured or not.

Splenomegaly could be caused by blood disorders or after repeated malaria or due to lots of other reasons. Just do a rescan of whole abdomen and if still there is an enlarged spleen; she needs a medical opinion to rule out the cause of it.

Primarily from my side, I suggest for a hemoglobin electrophoresis to rule out any blood disorders. The rest lies with the physician.

Instructions:
Jamun (Jambul): To heal spleen swelling use of Jamun (Jambolan) is good and effective to the problem. Using 3 g jamun (Jambul) vinegar with honey for few days is very much beneficial to shrink enlarged spleen.

Yogurt with Strawberry: Antibacterial properties of yogurt are best to keep your liver and spleen healthy. Daily mash 50 grams strawberries in 125 grams yogurt and keep this bowl refrigerates. Take 2-3 tablespoons after every 3 to 4 hours during the day to treat enlarged spleen naturally.
