Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If it is really a polyp, it should be removed. Every large intestine polyp gives some risk of cancer development. So the main rule is that all large intestine polyps should be removed.
It is possible that you may also have hemorrhoid or genital warts.
As there is a risk of polyp, please consult a surgeon and consider colonoscopy.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
