Most people are not unfamiliar with stones; however, for gallstones, much less attention is paid to them. In recent years, the incidence of gallstones has increased significantly to about 10% due to the change of poor diet and lifestyle habits, and there is a trend of low age. Other statistics show that women are much more likely to suffer from gallstones compared to men. This is because sex hormones in women affect the chemical composition of bile and the contraction function of the gallbladder, which in turn promotes the formation of stones. According to the causes of gallstones, there are seven types of people who are more prone to the disease and need special attention. People who are sedentary after meals. The contraction of the gallbladder muscle decreases as a result of physical inactivity and delayed bile evacuation, which can easily cause bile accumulation and create conditions for the formation of gallstones. In particular, some people like to sit on the sofa after meals to watch TV or play with the computer, but also watch while eating a variety of snacks, which is one of the important causes of gallstones. People with obese body type. Love to eat high-fat, high-sugar food is a direct consequence of fat, and obesity is an important factor in the formation of gallstones. People who weigh more than 15% of the normal standard have 5 times higher incidence of gallstones than ordinary people, obese women aged 20 to 30 have 6 times higher incidence of gallstones than their normal weight counterparts, and 40% of obese women over 60 years old have gallbladder disease and gallstones. Those who do not like to eat breakfast. Usually, the gallbladder discharges bile regularly after three meals a day. If you skip breakfast, the gallbladder does not have to excrete bile in the morning. If you do not eat breakfast, your gallbladder will not have to discharge bile in the morning, which will reduce the bile acid content and concentrate bile, increasing the possibility of stone formation. People with a sweet and meat-loving diet. These people usually consume more fat and cholesterol in general, which makes them prone to form cholesterol stones. Too much sweet food will promote insulin secretion and accelerate the deposition of cholesterol. Women with multiple pregnancies. Women account for 70% of gallstones patients, and the more pregnancies they have, the higher the incidence. The reason is that the high level of estrogen in women’s body will affect the formation of glucuronide bilirubin in the liver and increase the unconjugated bilirubin; estrogen also affects gallbladder emptying, causing bile stagnation, which is very easy to form stones. Long-term oral contraceptive pill users. These people are two times more likely to develop gallstones than others, and women who are treated with estrogenic drugs after menopause also have significantly more cases of gallstones, which may be related to the action of sex hormones. Those with a family history of the disease. People with this genetic predisposition are more likely to develop gallstones than the general population. Acute attacks of gallstones can cause biliary colic, severe pain in the upper or right side of the abdomen, restlessness, profuse sweating, pallor, nausea and vomiting, and even jaundice and high fever; however, there are also “painless gallstones” with atypical symptoms and no pain. As a common disease, gallstones are often neglected, which may lead to gallbladder cancer if not treated in time, and gallbladder cancer has no obvious symptoms in early stage, so treatment is easily delayed. As prevention, drinking more water, exercising more and eating regularly are the rules. If you find that you usually have digestive symptoms such as bloating, anorexia and heartburn, it is better to seek medical examination for early detection and treatment. Patients who are already suffering from gallstones should pay more attention to their diet, avoid eating cold, greasy, high-protein, stimulating food; eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, fish and seafood, which can help to clear the bile and dissolve stones. Special reminder is that middle-aged and elderly women suffering from stone cholecystitis, if the disease recurrence, must go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible; usually asymptomatic gallstones patients, it is recommended that every six months to review the ultrasound.
