At what stage does cervicitis cause bleeding?

Cervicitis may cause bleeding when the affected area is large and the erosion is severe. Contact bleeding, bloody vaginal discharge, or irregular vaginal bleeding may occur during sexual intercourse or routine gynecological examinations. It is recommended to seek medical treatment at a hospital as early as possible.

Cervicitis usually presents as cervical erosion. Cervical erosion may sometimes lead to post-coital bleeding or spontaneous bleeding, and in some cases, it manifests clinically as irregular vaginal bleeding. For irregular vaginal bleeding, a routine cervical examination should be performed: use a speculum to open the vaginal walls and expose the cervix. If bleeding cervical polyps are observed, polypectomy should be performed. If bleeding originates from the eroded cervical surface, cervical TCT (thin-prep cytology test) and HPV testing are necessary. Once serious conditions have been ruled out, bleeding due to cervical erosion can be considered a symptom of cervicitis, and physical therapies such as laser, cryotherapy, or microwave treatment may be chosen.

During treatment, maintain good external genital hygiene, avoid sexual intercourse, refrain from consuming spicy, stimulating, cold, greasy foods, and avoid excessive fatigue. After recovery, regular cervical follow-up examinations and routine cervical cancer screening should be conducted.
