Endoscopy Done. Suggestions?

yesterday I had a colonoscopy, the letter I came home with, states that the colposcopy was difficult due to a significant looping, and was aided by manual pressure.
also I had an endoscopy that states,scattered mild inflammation characterizes by erythema was found in the gastric antrum. Could you please explain in detail both of these things,

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

1. Colonoscopy (not colposcopy) requires intraluminal screening of the large bowel for any abnormality. In you case it is mentioned that the procedure was slightly time taking as there was looping in the bowel. However, no other significant mention of disease has been made.

2. Endoscopy (Upper GI) shows a little bit of redness in the area of stomach (gastric antrum). This needs to be correlated with your clinical problems. It is not serious.

Hope this helps
