Brief Answer: There is no cause for concern Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Gentleman First and foremost let me reassure you there is no cause for concern. Presence of only two polyps is not significant. Pedunculated polyp or polyp with a stalk are usually benign. Isolated sessile polyp with Normal surrounding mucosa there is definitely no cause for concern. If the are are suspicious or in presence of multiple polyps then biopsy or snaring of polyps is indicated. Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
