Four causes of gallstones

The formation of gallstones is usually closely related to heredity, eating habits, unhealthy lifestyles and other diseases. When the bile composition in the gallbladder is disordered, cholesterol or bile pigments are easily deposited to form crystals, thus leading to stones.

Genetic factors play an important role in gallstones. If there is a history of gallstones in the family, the risk of the disease may increase, especially in women. Unhealthy eating habits, such as high-fat, high-cholesterol, and low-fiber diets, can lead to abnormal bile secretion and increase the possibility of stone formation. Metabolic disorders caused by long-term sitting or lack of exercise can also restrict bile flow, making stone components more likely to deposit. Biliary tract infections, metabolic diseases such as diabetes, and abnormal cholesterol metabolism caused by obesity are also important pathogenic factors of gallstones.

In order to prevent gallstones, it is recommended to adhere to a healthy diet, reduce the intake of high-fat foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber; maintain good living habits, increase daily exercise, and prevent excessive weight gain; have regular physical examinations, especially those with a family history or metabolic diseases, should be vigilant, and use B-ultrasound tests to detect problems early when necessary. Under the doctor's advice, you can also prevent the formation of gallstones by adjusting your diet or taking medication.
