As per research, it has been noticed that almost 80% of gallstone cases are developed due to high cholesterol level. Studies have also revealed that women are more prone to get diagnosed with gallstones due to the existence of estrogen.
Estrogen is the female hormone, and it makes a vital role in enhancing the level of bile’s cholesterol level. Besides, obesity seems another significant cause of increased cholesterol and gallstones.
