Brief Answer:
They should be sent for histopathological examination.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have seen many cases of polyps which are benign, not cancerous.
I prefer to remove the bigger polyp and send it for histopathological examination (Biopsy ). Exact nature of the polyp will be known.
Treatment depends on the Biopsy report.

Please consult your doctor and proceed accordingly.
Nothing to worry.

Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
