What are the causes of bleeding caused by cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is troublesome for many women. It is not a single disease. Cervical erosion covers a wide range and may also cause bleeding. There are many reasons why cervical erosion causes bleeding, including some gynecological diseases, such as vaginitis.

1. Cervical cancer: Bleeding during sexual intercourse is often a dangerous sign of early cervical cancer. The amount of bleeding is not much and the color is bright red. However, if it is early-stage cervical cancer, the amount of bleeding may increase, and even blood clots may flow out. This is because the cancerous cervical cell tissue has become eroded and brittle, and the affected area has a good blood supply, so when the cervix is ​​directly hit, it will rupture and cause bleeding.

2. Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps are mostly tongue-shaped, about the size of a sunflower seed, often protruding outside the cervical opening, in single or multiple numbers, soft in texture, and bright red in color. The top of the polyp has loose tissue and rich blood vessels. When some polyps become edematous, gangrenous, and infected, their appearance may be similar to that of early cervical cancer and may easily cause bleeding during sexual intercourse. Cervical polyps are generally benign lesions and rarely become malignant. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of cervical polyps cannot be ignored.

3. Cervical erosion: Cervical erosion is the most common manifestation of chronic cervicitis. The cells in the eroded part of the cervix are very easy to fall off and become thinner. Therefore, some cervical erosions may also cause bleeding during sexual intercourse, especially in patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. Modern medical research has shown that the occurrence of cervical cancer is closely related to cervical erosion. Therefore, necessary treatment measures should be taken for cervical erosion to prevent cervical cancer.

4. Vaginitis: Common types include Trichomonas vaginitis and candidal vaginitis. Due to the invasion of pathogens such as Trichomonas or fungi on the vaginal wall and cervical tissue, it manifests as severe edema. The vaginal wall of trichomoniasis may have scattered bleeding spots or strawberry-shaped protrusions, while the vaginal wall of candidal vaginitis may be erosive or superficial ulcers.
