### Human:\nwhere is the spleen on the body of a man. what would the pain be on a level 1 to a 10. 10 being the most pain. before you go to the hospital. an will it stop hurting if you just feel an hit something in that area.\n\n### Assistant: the spleen is located in the left upper quadrant (under the ribs) in a man or woman. there are other anatomical parts in this area (the splenic flexure of your intestine left kidney etc. ) that has the potential of causing pain. pain is subjective --- only felt by the person with pain -- so it is really up to you to determine if your pain warrants a medical evaluation. in my opinion any undiagnosed pain and any level that is uncomfortable for you or persistent regardless of the location should be medically evaluated.
