Hello,
With the question “Is colon polyp size 2mm okay? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Colon polyp is a small mass of cells that form on the lining of the colon - rectum (large intestine). Most colon polyps are harmless, but over time some colon polyps can develop, which can cause bleeding, bowel obstruction, or cancer. There may be 1 or more polyps in the colon. Anyone can get colon polyps.
However, with 2mm polyps, there is no danger, nor do you need to go to the doctor right away or cut anything. But you have to have a routine endoscopy once a year to control. If it's too big, cut it off. Currently, cutting these polyps through endoscopy is very simple, so you can rest assured.
