A member asked:
I am 35 years old, normal weight and fairly active. i have a small brain aneurysm. (3mm) what can i do to prevent it from ever bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stable now: The critical size for rupture risk is >9mm. Best you have followup images about once yearly to be safe, and set up contact with a neurosurgeon who has done prior aneurysm surgery, just in case.
