Recently I was diagnosed with Mono
and told that I had an enlarged spleen. When can I return to sports. I am in
high school.
In general, you should wait at least
several months before you play contact sports. I do not know how large your spleen
is but this organ can easily rupture from blunt trauma. You may need to follow
up with your doctor and may need to undergo an ultrasound or CT scan to show
that the spleen size is reverting back to normal. Splenic rupture can be life
threatening and while you can go to school, all contact sports should be
avoided until the organ size is back to normal- usually takes a few months.
