Hi,
Colonic polyp is a common cause of fresh blood in stool ( hematochezia). pedunculated polyp is essentially a benign condition. if your finding came as multiple polyps then any syndromic associations to be ruled out but single polyp is less severe, this has to be resected . consult your surgeon.
