If you’ve one stone then you’ve got a 50% chance of developing another over the next 10 years.

What are the causes of cholecystitis gallstones?

Women over the age of 40 with diabetes, obesity, or rapid weight loss are most likely to develop gallstones. Gallstones can be asymptomatic. Many people have them and don’t know it! Other times, they can cause gallbladder attacks. If a gallstone blocks a duct, then pain and other complications take place causing an infection. In these cases, book an appointment with your homeopath.
