Hello dear
Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your concern in depth .
@ Polyps may be benign ( non cancerous ) or malignant ( cancerous ) .
@ 3 - 7 mm sizes are very small , do not panic until the biopsy report
which will only show the cause .
Hope this will help you .
Feel free to ask further questions .
Thanks for evaluation of my answer .
