Had a colonoscopy this week, and my doctor said that a 12mm colon polyp is considered medium size.
a 10mm polyp is less than a half inch in diameter. Whether that is considered small or large depends on its location.

3 mm is considered diminutive, ie small. Something that is 1 cm (ie 10 mm) or more is large.
A 12mm gallstone is approximately 1.2 centimeters in diameter. Gallstones can vary in size, with some being as small as a grain of sand and others growing as large as a golf ball. A 12mm stone is considered relatively large and may cause symptoms or complications, depending on its location within the gallbladder or bile ducts. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

Yes, a polyp measuring 8 cm is considered large. Most polyps are typically much smaller, often measuring just a few millimeters to a couple of centimeters. Larger polyps can have a higher risk of being cancerous, so they usually warrant further evaluation and monitoring by a healthcare professional.

Large cervical polyps are typically removed through a procedure called a polypectomy, which can be done in an outpatient setting. The polypectomy may be performed using a gentle twisting motion to detach the polyp from the cervix or by using a specialized instrument to cut the polyp and remove it. In some cases, a hysteroscopy may be used to assist in visualizing and removing the polyp. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best approach for removing a large cervical polyp.
A large and black polyp may indicate a higher risk for being cancerous, although not all black polyps are cancerous. It is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare provider through a colonoscopy to determine the nature of the polyp and the appropriate course of action. Early detection and treatment is crucial in reducing the risk of complications.
It is a polyp. Good question!
It is considered to be a colonial animal because of the species that it brought through the environment that the coral is formed in.
