When the sperm fertilizes, or meets, the egg, this fertilized egg is called the zygote. The zygote goes through a process of becoming an embryo and developing into a fetus. The female reproductive system includes a group of organs in a woman's lower belly and pelvis. The uterus is where a fetus, or baby, grows. It is a hollow, pearâshaped organ with a muscular wall. There are two ovaries, one on either side of the uterus.
An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement (dilation) of the aorta to greater than 1.5 times normal size. They usually cause no symptoms except when ruptured. Occasionally, there may be abdominal, back, or leg pain. They are most commonly located in the abdominal aorta, but can also be located in the thoracic aorta. Aortic aneurysms cause weakness in the wall of the aorta and increase the risk of aortic rupture. When rupture occurs, massive internal bleeding results and, unless treated immediately, shock and death can occur.
An aneurysm is a dilatation-or a bulging ballooning out-of the walls of an artery. An aortic aneurysm is bulging out of the walls of the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body and carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body.he surgery to repair aortic aneurysms carries a small but real risk. (This risk varies based on the patientâs age, the patientâs overall health condition, the location and extent of the aneurysm and the volume of aortic procedures performed by the surgeon and at the center where the surgery is performed).
