What Does A Biopsy Test Indicate?

Hello, Yes, I recently had a colonoscopy done. This is my 2nd in 5 years. This time they took biopsies. I don t remember having biopsies taken the first time. So is it routine, do they need to ask permission. I remember it being very painful, I saw it being done on the screen. My Doctor says the results will not be in for about 2 months. What knowledge can be gained from a biopsy? Thank-You

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
In biopsy they take some tissues from suspicious areas and then tissue is send for histopathological examination and further studies. If only histopathological examination is there then it will take approximately one week for report. If UHC studies are also there then it take 3 to 5 days for. From report we can search the cause like cancer or benign polyp or ulcerative colitis etc.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
