Causes of cervical contact bleeding

Cervical contact bleeding refers to slight vaginal bleeding that occurs during sexual intercourse, gynecological examinations, or similar situations, and may have various underlying causes. Cervicitis, a common inflammatory condition, can make the cervical mucosa fragile and prone to bleeding upon contact when inflammation affects the surrounding cervical area. Cervical ectropion is a normal physiological change, often influenced by estrogen levels, which may lead to contact bleeding when the cervical os is irritated. Other conditions such as cervical polyps, cervical eversion, and cervical cancer may also cause cervical contact bleeding. If any of these conditions are suspected, it is advisable to seek timely medical attention and undergo professional gynecological evaluation and treatment to ensure women's health.
