For small aneurysms, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and eating healthily may be recommended to prevent it from growing. You might also need medicines to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels to help prevent further enlargement. Surgery may be required if the aneurysm is large (5.5 cm or more), growing rapidly, or causing pain, with the goal of reducing the risk of rupture. Surgery carries risks and side effects, which should be discussed with your doctor or surgeon. As abdominal aortic aneurysms often grow over time, regular scans are necessary to monitor their size. If the aneurysm ruptures, emergency surgery will be needed to treat it.",
