A member asked:

How long does biopsy takes to heal after stomach endoscopy ?

Dr. James Burns answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

A gastroenterologist: is better able to answer this question but from my experience the biopsy site in the gastric mucosa heals very fast. Usually within 10-14 days post procedure the site of the biopsy is healed and undergoing remodeling in the sub-mucosal tissue.
