Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a serious condition that affects the aorta, the largest and most important blood vessel in the body. It occurs when the aorta weakens or bulges, leading to various symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and a reduced blood flow to the lower extremities. AAA can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and physical exertion. Risk factors include a family history of AAA, high blood pressure, and obesity. Symptoms can vary from person to person, but if left untreated, AAA can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and death. Treatment options include repairing the aneurysm, surgery, or balloon angioplasty. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of AAA, as early detection and treatment can improve outcomes. Prevention measures include maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking.
