Q: is it safe to have an endoscopy with a biopsy repeated after 18 months? how long does it take for an endoscopic biopsy to heal properly?

: Healing probably is complete in a few days and certainly by two weeks. There should be no increased risk of bleeding or other problems in this situation. Discuss with your endoscopist if you remain concerned.
