Pregnancy significantly increases gallstone prevalence, particularly in women with multiple pregnancies. This study highlights the link between repeated pregnancies and gallbladder issues, emphasizing the need for awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Gallbladder disease is more prevalent in women, with pregnancy being a contributing factor to gallstone formation.
  • Ultrasound scans during pregnancy are effective for detecting gallstones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the prevalence of gallstones in pregnant women.
  • To compare gallstone prevalence in pregnant women with the general population.

Main Methods:

  • A total of 1336 pregnant women in their 3rd trimester underwent gallbladder ultrasound examinations.
  • A control group of 500 non-pregnant individuals aged 20-30 years, undergoing abdominal ultrasounds, was included for comparison.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Gallstones were detected in 8.08% (n=108) of pregnant women, with the highest prevalence (12.71%) observed in those with 3 or more pregnancies.
  • A significantly higher incidence of gallstones was found in multiparous women compared to the age-matched control group.

    • Conclusions:

    • Repeated pregnancies are associated with an increased risk of gallstone formation.
    • Changes in gallbladder function during pregnancy contribute to bile stasis and the development of gallstones.
