Bleeding 20 days after cervical conization is usually caused by factors such as high tension on wound sutures or infection, and typically presents as mild vaginal bleeding. This is a normal phenomenon, and the body will generally achieve a clean condition within 10 days to half a month. It is recommended to evaluate this situation in conjunction with the patient's clinical history to rule out the possibility of infection. Patients should promptly go to the hospital for examination and receive appropriate treatment to prevent complications.
