Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) can be life threatening.
A AAA is when the part of the aorta that resides within the abdomen becomes bigger and bursts. Unfortuately, a AAA can develop slowly and not present with any symptoms. Occassionally people may feel a pulse near their belly button, or a pain in their back or stomach.
Thankfully a thorough medical check up with a doctor can at times incidentally diagnose a AAA through investigations being conducted such as; vascular ultrasound imaging.
Dr Peter Bray(Vascular Surgeon) today on MeditalkPodcast helps us better understand what is a AAA and how can a AAA be diagnosed and treated.
If you are concerned about your health please make the time and speak with a medical pratitioner.
