Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Silent Threat to Your Life
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an enlargement of the aorta, the major blood vessel that supplies blood from the heart to the lower limbs. As the aorta is the body's main supplier of blood, a ruptured AAA can cause life-threatening bleeding.
AAA does not cause symptoms unless it ruptures. When it does, symptoms are typically severe, including intense back or abdominal pain, nausea, shortness of breath, and hypotension or drop in blood pressure, leading to shock and death.
Here are some key aspects you need to know:
