Why is Gallbladder Disease Relevant in Gynecology?
Gallbladder disease is relevant in gynecology due to its higher prevalence in women, especially during reproductive years. Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause can influence the formation of gallstones. Estrogen increases cholesterol levels in bile, while progesterone slows gallbladder emptying, both contributing to gallstone formation.
