Polyps found in Stomach during Endoscopy

My father is 63 yrs old. His treatment is going on of fatty liver from last 6 years.

last month during endoscopy, doctor found, there are 3 polyps in stomach. endoscopy which held 2 years ago, there was no any polyps on stomach.

now doctor said we need to take the sample of this polyps and send it to lab for further investigation.

Endoscopy Impression: ESOPHAGEAL VARIX, PGP, ANTRAL POLYPS

we have undergone this blood test:

Test Name                                                 Results          units          reference range

PROTHROMBIN TIME STUDIES

(Electromechnical Clot Detection)

Mean Normal Prothrombin Time (PT)        12.03

Patient value                                                 15                sec          10.59 - 13.46

Prothrombin Ratio (PR)                               1.25

International Normalized Ration (INR)        1.25

I have some question.

- Does remove polyps from stomach risky procedure?

- Does patient feels any pain when polyps remove from stomach during endoscopy? Does patient needs admit to hospital after this procedure if bleeding?

- Does any local anesthesia is given to patient during this (polyps remove procedure from stomach)?

Last year, he have faced a semiconscious stage. Brain MRI shown a mild blood clot was happened (now he is ok from this situation).

Please advice.

Many Thanks.
