HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, sigmoid polyp is actually pathological condition of colon and the lesion is usually filled with blood, this is actually surgical condition and needs surgery but some times this comes around with medical treatment, but this depends how the polyps are ? this is not the condition that one should be worry about this, take care.
I find this answer helpful
