Colon polyps is 8mm size bad??

Size, but what cells: While larger polyps tend to be more concerning for cancer than smaller ones, it really depends on the cells that the polyp contains, which is why polyps have to be sought out (via colonoscopy) and removed for histologic analysis. Smaller polyps can have cancerous or precancerous cells therein.

No need observation: Not bad if you follow your doctors advise , removing them through scope , get get checked for new ones if neglected some types may lead to malignancy .

No, not so bad: This is a small polyp. I hope this has been sent to Pathologist for a microscopic examination. Why did you have the colonoscopy done at this time??(it is usually done for some reason or for Cancer screening( but after age of 50 years).
