Colonoscopy Biopsies

Just wondered if anyone would know why I had 24 biopsies taken during colonoscopy 😕 I was expecting 2 or 3. The report came back colon was inflamed and patchy but they wouldn't give me any more information 😟 just a bit worried so any help would be great. thank you x

Soundslike Crohn's disease to me. They probably will not give a diagnosis until the pathology report comes back. CD isn't the end of the world, but it means you have a life long illness that needs to be treated.

I just had colonscopy 2 days ago and 18 biopsies were taken.  I noticed the majority of these were marked random.  Perhaps yours were same and if so I would guess these are just taking the opportunity to check whilst the opportunity is there,   Regards,  will43
