    Gallstones can form due to modifiable lifestyle factors like a sedentary lifestyle, high fat intake, low fiber, and being overweight, as well as non-modifiable factors like being female over 52. Crystals form from bile becoming supersaturated and fuse to form stones, which can cause pain by blocking the bile duct and gallbladder, leading to issues like cholecystitis, jaundice, and infection if not treated.
