A friend of mine suspects she might have this. She is currently going to the Dr, but she was wondering about the symptoms and effects of this?

Thank you.

About 90% of gall bladder disease provoke no symptoms at all. If problems do develop, the chance of developing pain is about 2% per year for the first 10 years after stone formation, after which the chance for developing symptoms declines . On average, symptoms take about 8 years to develop. The reason for the decline in incidence after 10 years is not known, although some doctors suggest that "younger," smaller stones may be more likely to cause symptoms than larger ones.

men dont have a period but can get the same symptoms from reproductive hormone decline which can start as early as age 5. hormone declines will happen to everyone & it's part of life. women who get this will still have their periods despite this.

the symptoms are the same as women who are in menopause. please see these websites for information so you'll know what's going to happen and so you'll know if you have it now:
