Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
Regarding the term used in describing the findings on your endoscopy it means that they found redness in one part of the lining of your stomach The redness implies inflammation/irritation of an area and this brings extra blood flow to that area.
Biopsy of an area like this could help diagnose gastritis- an irritation of the stomach that could cause pain and discomfort.
