General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

This hemangioma is very small and this cant be related to your symptoms and generally hemangiomas should not be treated if smaller than 10cm. Other findings and symptoms are concerning and there is obviously liver damage which should be evaluated. it may be viral hepatitis or fatty liver disease, you need to do ultrasound and check viral markers for a start. then further therapy can be planned.

Polyps in bowel may have caused abdominal discomfort and digestion issue, you should repeat colonoscopy to evaluate if this has grown in meantime.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
