title: By the way, doctor. I recently had an ultrasound to look for gallstones. No gallstones. But they found an abdominal aortic aneurysm instead. The doctors said it's pretty small--only 3.8 centimeters. But I'm worried that it might get larger and break open. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from getting bigger?
