Do you know who is favored by gallstones? Hepatobiliary doctors tell you, see which category you belong to? The “fat beauty” over 40 years old Gallstones have a characteristic of “women over men”, due to the hormonal reasons, women are more prone to gallstones than men. Especially for obese women over 40 years old who have given birth, the change of estrogen secretion in the body affects the normal activity of the gallbladder, making the emptying and contraction ability of the gallbladder of women poorer than that of men, and thus prone to stones. Obese people are also a high risk group for gallstones. Most obese people have high blood lipids, which are mainly cholesterol and triglycerides. In normal people, cholesterol remains dissolved in the bile and is not deposited, making it less likely to form stones. On the contrary, cholesterol will gradually form clumps in the bile and form stones. People who prefer fatty foods are prone to gallstones, but people who have been vegetarians for a long time are just as likely to get stones. Because of the reduced intake of lecithin and the high vegetable fiber content in vegetarian food, the absorption of bile acids is reduced and the concentration of bile salts is also reduced, so stones are also easily formed. People who do not eat breakfast People who often do not eat breakfast are prone to form stones because bile accumulates in the gallbladder overnight, and if they do not eat, bile cannot participate in digestion. Patients with inflammation in bile About 1/3 of bile duct cancer patients have bile duct stones in combination. When there is repeated inflammation in bile and stones and parasites rubbing in bile for a long time, it is easy to cause cancer of cells in bile.
