It means that, in a part of the stomach, there was inflammation-the inflammation is described as red and swollen. It also said it was mild. This is likely gastritis in a part of the stomach. Your GI doctor needs to go over this result with you and offer treatment-likely with a proton pump inhibitor medicine. Good luck to you!
