A member asked:
Can straining/pushing while pooping(from constipation)lead to formation of aneurysms? due to increased pressure. someone told me this. true or untrue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!: You may already have the aneurysm and increasing your intra-thoracic and intra-abdominal pressure will minimally change your blood pressure and then only momentarily. It does not cause the aneurysm and will not exacerbate it.
