Newly Diagnosed with an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

I was diagnosed with same in 2020. It was at 4.8. I made some changes mainly losing weight and it's been from 4.6 to 4.1 over the past five years. Started exercising moderately couple months ago recheck said it was 5.9 yesterday. I'm terrified to say the least yet VS thinks the imaging may not be correct thru the doppler that I've been having every 6 months for the past 4 plus years... He has ordered another CT w contrast next week. Any thoughts or similar experiences out there?

@thevikole En noviembre de 2021 me realizaron TAC Simple buscando piedras en el riñón, y por hallazgo encontraron un aneurismas de aorta abdominal infrarrenal de 4.3 cm, igual que tu dé me desconcierta por completo los medicos me desorientaron más deje de hacer ejercicio y me fue peor porque me invadía la mente el AAA, a los 6 meses me hice una tomografía contratada y me salio en 4.0 centímetros, en el 2023 me hicieron una ecografía y me salio como 3.8 cm, y como al años otra ecografía igual, y yo decia pues que bien que no crece, si no ahora en 2025 me hice una tomo gracia contrastada y me salio en 4.7 cm. Lo que he leído es que las ecografías no tienen precisión y depende demasiara de la experiencia del radiólogo. En angiolo que me dice que al año me haga el estudio de nuevo.

It is possible imaging is not correct. I was measured with a sonogram in February 4.3 second measurement in May and it was 4.1. Recently had a catscan and it is 4.1. Ask your Dr to recheck with a scan. Because the growth is significant. Wishing you well and praying for advances in medicine for all of us dealing with aneurysms.
