CAUSES OF GALLBLADDER STONES:

CAUSES OF GALLBLADDER STONES:

 

  • Too much cholesterol in the bile: Crystals form and eventually turn into stones when bile contains more cholesterol than it can breakdown. Obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and high-fat diets are significant causes of this.

 

  • Effects of hormones: Gallstones can consequently be caused by hormone treatment, pregnancy, and contraception. Progesterone inhibits gallbladder contractions, whereas estrogen raises bile cholesterol levels.

 

  • Pigmented stones:Calcium bilirubinate stones can result from diseases including cirrhosis, bile duct infections, or persistent hemolysis. These are frequently many and little.

 

  • Decreased activity of the gallbladder: Bile might concentrate due to infrequent emptying, which promotes the production of stones. This might happen when you fast for a long time, lose weight quickly, or follow particular restricted diets.

 

  • Genetic and Metabolic: Risk factors include insulin resistance, certain genetic backgrounds, and a family history of gallstones. Certain medications can also alter the Compositions of Bile which leads to Stone Formation.
