With the question “Is 3mm Sigma colon polyp dangerous?” , the doctor answered as follows:
Your Sigma colon polyp 3mm is a small, benign polyp. So, you follow the doctor's appointment to check back to monitor the growth of the polyp, if the polyp is large, the doctor will cut the polyp during the colonoscopy.
