Causes of gallstones
1. Age - the incidence of cholelithiasis also depends on age: the probability of the disease increases in people over 50 years old.
2. Belonging to the female gender - the risk of developing this pathology is 2-3 times higher than that of men, which is due to the lithogenic effect of estrogen, that is, the bile becomes darker and more viscous, causing it to sink.
3. Obesity — increases the risk of gallstones by about 20%.
4. Diabetes (risk increases 3 times) — fat metabolism is disturbed and lithogenicity of bile (stone formation) increases.
5. Liver diseases - biliary dyskinesia, hepatitis and liver cirrhosis risk increases 10 times.
6. Rapid weight loss (long-term starvation, strict diets), bariatric interventions (surgery to reduce the size of the stomach increases the chance of developing cholelithiasis up to 30%).
