Patient's question:
Doctor, my grandfather is 77 years old. Then in September of a single year, he felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The examination revealed that he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Doctor, I would like to know, what should be done for a 77-year-old male with an abdominal aortic aneurysm?Doctor's answer:
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are most commonly found in middle-aged and elderly men. They are associated with long-term heavy smoking and irregular lifestyle habits. Currently, clinical diagnosis involves two treatment methods: drug (conservative medication treatment) and surgical removal of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a thorough check-up and follow-up. After the specialist doctor conducts a comprehensive and detailed examination to clarify the specific condition, the most effective treatment can be administered based on their expertise.
