Hi while they are there they nearly always take biopsy from different areas as a double check,,despite everything looking clear, it's just routine nothing to worry about.

Thank you 

Hello and thanks for posting,

Most endoscopy procedures will take biopsies as a matter of routine practice, so don't read too much into this.

They send off the samples for analysis. It can confirm visual findings, and sometimes confirm gastritis for example.

I hope that this helps, 

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Yours sincerely,

Vanda
