Cervical bleeding after pregnancy

Many female friends experience cervical bleeding during pregnancy. In this case, they will be very anxious, fearing that it will affect the fetus in their belly and eventually lead to irreversible consequences. In fact, in this situation, you should remain calm so that your condition will not worsen. Then you should go to the hospital for a detailed gynecological examination to determine whether you have a pathological disease.

Cervical erosion

Due to the chronic inflammation of the cervix, more purulent secretions are discharged, which soak the epithelium of the external os of the cervix, causing it to lose its vitality and form desquamation and ulcers. This is what is often seen in clinical examination as a shiny bright red area with fine particles around the external os of the cervix - cervical erosion.

Cervical ectropion

The cervix may be torn during delivery, induced labor, or abortion. If it is not repaired promptly by surgery, the scar tissue may contract and cause the cervical opening to evert. If combined with infection to form chronic cervicitis, the leucorrhea will be purulent and there will be contact bleeding.

Cervical polyps

Inflammation is a factor in the formation of polyps. Polyps originating from the uterine tube mucosa are soft, bright red, and fragile. They bleed when touched lightly and can be found during a gynecological examination. Larger polyps can cause increased vaginal discharge, bloody vaginal discharge, or contact bleeding, especially a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse or straining during bowel movements. These symptoms are similar to those of early cervical cancer.

Cervical leukoplakia is a white, opaque, patchy lesion that appears on the cervix. The cause of the disease is not very clear yet, it may be related to endocrine disorders, chronic stimulation of cervical inflammation, the influence of vaginal trichomoniasis, etc. In recent years, it has also been found that the occurrence of cervical leukoplakia may be related to the carcinogenic factors of cervical cancer. Simple uterine leukoplakia often has no obvious symptoms. If it is combined with cervical erosion or endocervical endometrial eversion, there will be increased leucorrhea, or occasional bloody vaginal discharge and contact bleeding.

Cervical cancer is one of the common cancers in the human body. Contact bleeding may be one of the early symptoms of cervical cancer. Bleeding often occurs after sexual intercourse or during vaginal examination. Vaginal bleeding is extremely irregular, usually a little at first and then more, or sometimes a little and sometimes more. However, some patients have heavy bleeding after the first contact, which is often caused by rupture of small arteries. Sometimes vaginal bleeding may also occur after straining during a bowel movement.
