Introduction
In general, a rough gallbladder wall may be caused by improper diet, poor lifestyle habits, cholecystitis, gallstones, gallbladder polyps, or other reasons. It is recommended that patients follow medical advice for symptomatic management including conservative treatment, pharmacological therapy, or surgical intervention. As the causes of a rough gallbladder wall vary, the appropriate treatment plan must be determined by a physician based on individual circumstances.

Generally, rough gallbladder wall may be caused by improper diet, poor lifestyle habits, cholecystitis, gallstones, gallbladder polyps, and other factors. Patients are advised to follow medical instructions for appropriate general treatment, medication, or surgical treatment according to symptoms. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Improper Diet: Long-term consumption of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, such as fried foods and animal offal, can increase the burden on the gallbladder, elevate cholesterol levels in bile, and easily form crystals that irritate the gallbladder wall, making it rough. It is recommended to avoid high-fat and high-cholesterol foods and increase intake of fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits.

2. Poor Lifestyle Habits: Poor lifestyle habits, such as lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, and staying up late, may lead to decreased gallbladder function and bile stasis, which can irritate the gallbladder wall, making it rough. It is recommended to increase physical activity, maintain regular作息, and avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue.

3. Cholecystitis: Cholecystitis is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder wall, which can be triggered by bacterial infection, bile stasis, and other factors. Inflammation stimulates the gallbladder wall, causing congestion, edema, and a rough surface. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Patients should follow medical advice to use medications such as Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets, Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride Tablets, and anti-inflammatory bile-promoting tablets to reduce gallbladder inflammation and control infection.

4. Gallstones: Gallstones are solid crystals formed in the gallbladder, mainly composed of cholesterol and bile pigments. The presence of stones continuously rubs against the gallbladder wall, causing damage and inflammatory reactions in the gallbladder lining, leading to a rough gallbladder wall. Symptoms may include biliary colic, vomiting, and pallor. Patients with large stones or severe symptoms may need to consider undergoing cholecystectomy or gallbladder-preserving stone removal surgery at a reputable hospital.

5. Gallbladder Polyps: Gallbladder polyps are benign growths on the gallbladder wall. However, the presence of polyps can continuously stimulate the gallbladder wall, causing inflammatory responses that lead to a rough gallbladder wall. Symptoms may include dull pain in the upper right abdomen and bloating. Patients with large polyps, rapid growth, or a tendency toward malignancy may need to consider undergoing polypectomy or cholecystectomy at a reputable hospital.

There are various causes of a rough gallbladder wall, and treatment measures should be formulated by a doctor according to individual circumstances. When related symptoms are detected, timely medical attention should be sought, and treatment should be followed as instructed by a physician. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle and dietary habits can help prevent and treat a rough gallbladder wall.
