The hormones in birth control pills can increase cholesterol levels in bile and decrease gallbladder movement, which can lead to gallstones which can cause serious problems if they become trapped in the bile ducts. Laproscopic gallbladder surgery is the most common treatment. Following gall bladder surgery women are then are faced with gallbladder removal side effects.
