3. Infections
There are many different types of infections that our bodies are fighting off at all times. Some of these infections are cured with antibiotics and others go away on their own with time. Some infections that affect the blood may be a cause of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
One such infection is called vasculitis. This type of infection will wear away at the blood vessels located throughout the veins and arteries. The inflammation that is caused by this type of infection is the main culprit in causing an abdominal aortic aneurysm to develop. The infection essentially eats away at portions of the aortic wall.
This can cause many different health issues to develop as the infection spreads throughout the body. A person with vasculitis needs to be aware of the risks of this infection and take care to rid the body of the infection as soon as possible.
