Hello,
Colon polyp is a papillary lesion in the colon mucosa, one of the leading lesions that can cause colon tumors.
All colonoscopy cases that detect polyps should be indicated for polypectomy and histopathology to determine the nature of the polyp. The removal of polyps can be done through colonoscopy (if the polyp is small, with a peduncle) or in some cases surgery (large polyp, wide stalk, risk of colon perforation if removed through endoscopic). You should see a specialist in gastroenterology - endoscopy and gastroenterology for specific advice.
You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice and examination by specialist doctors. Thank you for sending the question is colon polyps 6mm dangerous to Vinmec.
