Splenectomy (surgical removal of the spleen) is the most common treatment for most patients with HS, as it reduces the destruction of red blood cells by removing the main site of RBC breakdown. Other treatments may also be used, such as blood transfusions, folic acid supplements, and medications to manage symptoms or complications.
