Size: The larger something is, the more likely it is to bleed. It sounds like upon further exam, you gp felt it would be safer to do it in an or so that there is additional support if needed if you bled more than expected. This sounds like an additional safety measure, is all.

Benign: Since it is polyp only. If it does not cause significant bleeding. It is safe.
