can an aneurysm repair it self on her own?

Ngo

a friend of mine was diagnosed with an aneurysm. at first he was sure he is going to have a surgery, but afterwards his doctor told him he should get medical treatment. i don't understand - how come some people need a surgical repair while others just take medications? i know this is a serious condition that is life threatening can an aneurysm repair it self on her own? or maybe when his doctor didn't recommend surgery he malpractices?
the reason that i ask is that all the other people that i heard of that had an aneurysm had a surgery, and i don't really trust this doctor.

It is not clear where is the aneurysm. One's aneurysm can be in his thorax his abdomen his brain and so on. As far as I know most aneurysm are aortic, and there are guidelines about the treatment.
When my husband was diagnosed with an aneurysm, our physician told us we have to main treatment options, surgical and medical, and that he recommended the medical, because my husband might not survive the surgery.

There can be several reasons why an aneurysm is not operatable. It can be its anatomic location, it can be its size or maybe its just to dangerus to oprate because of other diseases your friend suffer from.
Anyway if you want you can go to your GP and ask him why didn't he offer you the surgical treatment.
