Prevention is always better then cure. So to have a healthy life and that too with your loved one is easy: Remember the following and you can save yourself from all the pain and suffering. Reduce your risk of having gallstones :

Don’t skip meals:  Always try to have all the three  meals at your usual times every day. Fasting or skipping meals, increases the risk of having gallstones.

Healthy diet: Include lot of fruits and vegetable in your diet. 

Exercise: Obesity and being overweight can also increase the risk of gallstones.

Love yourself and give at least 30min of your day to your body. Try to maintain a healthy weight and exercise to retain it.

Causes of Gallbladder Cancer

There are no definite reasons/conditions that can be held responsible for developing cancerous growth in one's body. Nor there is any such thing as prevention, but yes there are certain factors which have been found as the precursor to cancer and related ailments in  the human body. Different cancers have different risk factors.

Gallbladder cancer actually is  the abnormal growth of cells within the gallbladder. Although  actual reasons are unknown. But certain conditions may increase  the chances of getting cancer cells in the body. For instance

Lifestyle related:  such as being overweight, smoking, unhealthy food habits, personal health and age .

Other factors that put one at the risk of developing gallbladder cancer. 

1. Gallstones
2. Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder),  and 
3. Diabetes

Family related:  If one has a family history of gallstones, cholecystitis, or gallbladder cancer, then he/she is more likely to develop these conditions.

Having a risk factor, or even several risk factors, does not necessarily mean that a person will get cancer.  There have been cases where despite of being exposed to the risks, people have lived  a very healthy and cancer free life.  And many people who get the disease may have few or no  risk factors et all.

The crux is anyone can get cancer at any age. The only solution is to remain aware and look for signs and symptoms. The moment you feel something different, something unusual - visit a doctor. If the doctor says everything is fine, take a second opinion. But don't sit and let yourself  suffer till it's too late. Remember there are people who love you, to whom you matter - don't leave them to suffer.
