What is contact bleeding from the cervix?

  Contact bleeding from the cervix is when a woman has a small amount of bleeding from the cervix after intercourse, or after an internal gynecological examination.  There are many reasons for cervical bleeding, including cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or even cervical cancer, and in the case of women who give birth in normal labor, the cervical cervix may be torn during normal labor, causing heavy bleeding. If the bleeding is caused by cervical erosion, contact bleeding after intercourse is usually not serious, because cervical erosion is usually a physiological displacement of the columnar epithelium, so it is only necessary to consider the use of povidon suppositories to vaginally treat the bleeding, if it is caused by cervical polyps, because polyps are usually benign lesions, so it is not serious, usually can consider surgery to remove the polyps. If the bleeding is caused by cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, it may develop into cervical cancer, so cervical conization surgery is usually required, but since it is not cancerous at present, it is usually not life-threatening and therefore not serious. If it is caused by cervical cancer, it is more serious at this point because the cancer cells may spread and even endanger the woman’s life.  Therefore, after a woman has cervical bleeding, she needs to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for an internal examination to confirm the specific cause of the bleeding and then treat it symptomatically.
