Abdominal Ultrasound is crucial for spotting Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA), especially in those without symptoms. Early detection is key! It allows for timely treatment, reducing the risk of life-threatening ruptures. Did you know that while a rupture might not happen, if it does, there’s an 80% chance it could be fatal? In the UK alone, ruptured aortic aneurysms are linked to 5,000 deaths annually, mainly affecting men over 65 – that's a staggering 1 in 75 deaths in that age group!
Most people won’t feel any symptoms, which is why getting an ultrasound is so important. If you do experience a pulsating feeling in your abdomen or persistent back pain, it’s time to consult a healthcare provider. Don’t wait; take charge of your health today! 💪
