Hepatomegaly
Hepatomegaly is a condition in which the liver is larger than normal.
This can be due to a variety of causes, including liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, cancer, or infections such as mononucleosis.
Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice).
If you suspect you have hepatomegaly, it’s important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
