Introduction
Gallbladder adenomyosis generally refers to cholecystic adenomyosis, a type of gallbladder hyperplastic disease, typically characterized by chronic proliferation. Although it may cause symptoms such as indigestion, loss of appetite, upper abdominal fullness, or dull pain, the condition is usually not serious. With active symptomatic treatment under medical guidance or surgical removal, it can generally be cured.

In general, cholecystic adenomyomatosis refers to cholecystitis adenomyosis, a benign gallbladder condition primarily characterized by hyperplasia of the glandular tissue and muscle layer. It is usually not serious. The specific analysis is as follows:

Cholecystitis adenomyosis is clinically categorized as a type of gallbladder hyperplastic disease, typically involving chronic hyperplasia. After onset, it may manifest as excessive proliferation of the gallbladder mucosa and muscular layer, thickening of the gallbladder wall, and deep invagination of proliferating mucosal epithelium into the muscle layer, forming multiple small cystic protrusions similar to intramural diverticula, which remain connected to the gallbladder cavity. As a benign condition dominated by glandular and muscular hyperplasia, cholecystitis adenomyosis may cause symptoms such as indigestion, loss of appetite, upper abdominal fullness, or dull pain. However, with timely symptomatic treatment under medical guidance or surgical removal when necessary, it can generally be cured; therefore, the condition is usually not considered severe.

After diagnosis of cholecystitis adenomyosis, it is recommended to maintain dietary control and avoid overeating to reduce the risk of developing cholecystitis or gallstone disease.
