Comment:
Gallstone disease represents one of the most commonly encountered diseases in gastroenterology. To facilitate the diagnosis and to help to remember the risk factors of gallstones, medical students are taught the mnemonic ‘5Fs’ (or ‘7Fs’) gallstone rule, which, among others, points to female gender and fertility. Indeed, it has been appreciated that female gender and pregnancies increase gallstone risk.
