Discussion: Why do women on average have an increased tendency compared to men to develop gallstones? (Relevant to Fibromyalgia patients)

Gallbladder inflammations block the flow of bile fluid to the intestines and are a critical factor in the onset of fibromyalgia, especially in women. Fluctuations in female sex hormone levels are a significant factor, and an unhealthy diet contributes to the formation of gallstones. The leading causes of hormonal fluctuations are births, birth control pills, and a woman's menopause.
