Hi,

As, your mother had got duodenal erosions, during endoscopy, now your doctor might need to see the area more minutely to reach at a precise diagnosis, particularly the area of, and around the erosions. Your doctor may also have a biopsy from the area during procedure of endoscopy to find the histopathological diagnosis of the area of the erosions.

Your mother might be having pain due to erosions of duodenum itself & not necessarily due to procedure of endoscopy. The severity of illness as well as treatment plan, may be known only after a precise diagnosis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
