One of the causes of congenital inflection can be genetic mutations, which lead to a disruption in the development of the muscular layer. In most cases, the congenital bile of the bile flows without any marked symptoms and does not require special treatment. Often, a congenital anomaly is detected accidentally on a survey, for example, on ultrasound. In addition, such a pathology can be resolved with age without external intervention.

Acquired bend of the bile can develop against the background of excessive activity, emotional or physical overstrain, malnutrition, excess weight.

It should be noted that children are categorically forbidden to lift weights, since this threatens to lower the organs and increases the risk of deformity of the bile.
