Is vaginal bleeding a symptom of cervical erosion? What is the main cause of cervical erosion?

Vaginal bleeding is mostly caused by gynecological diseases, except during menstruation. Some gynecological diseases may not have other obvious manifestations, and it is usually not easy to judge what kind of disease it is from the symptoms. So, is vaginal bleeding a symptom of cervical erosion?

To know whether vaginal bleeding is cervical erosion, we need to first understand cervical erosion. Cervical erosion used to be a disease that troubled many women. When going for a physical examination, it is almost nine out of ten times that you will be diagnosed with cervical erosion. Cervical erosion, after all, is actually a misunderstanding of the normal manifestation of the cervix in the past. Therefore, it is obvious that vaginal bleeding has nothing to do with cervical erosion.

Main causes of vaginal bleeding:

⑴ Senile vaginitis, cervical erosion and cervical polyps, often with a small amount of fresh bleeding after gynecological examination or after sexual intercourse, may have bloody leucorrhea (sometimes leucorrhea is sorghum rice soup or amber), endometritis and endometrial hyperplasia can also cause vaginal bleeding.

⑵ Functional uterine bleeding and discontinuation of hormonal drugs such as progesterone, ethinyl estradiol, and birth control pills can cause vaginal bleeding.

⑶ Uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, cervical cancer, uterine body cancer and ovarian granulosa cell tumors can all cause vaginal bleeding accompanied by red and white discharge.

⑷ Thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia and liver damage cause vaginal redness, accompanied by bleeding spots on the skin.

⑸ Irregular bleeding after menopause occurs in women of childbearing age. The first thing to consider is pregnancy-related diseases, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, malignant hydatidiform mole, and choriocarcinoma.

⑹ Blood staining before or after menstruation, such as a small amount of bloody secretions a few days before or after menstruation, is generally due to abnormal ovarian function; irregular menstruation after IUD insertion.

⑺ Bleeding in late pregnancy may cause placenta previa, placental abruption, and uterine rupture.

⑻Pregnancy bleeding may be caused by placental retention, incomplete uterine involution, and puerperal infection.

⑼ Vaginal bleeding in young children may indicate vaginal sarcoma.

⑽ If menopausal women have irregular vaginal bleeding with heavy amount and long duration, endometrial cancer and reproductive malignancies should be ruled out.

Vaginal bleeding is basically caused by disease, while cervical erosion is a normal physiological phenomenon. The two are unrelated, and it is important to correctly understand cervical erosion. There are many factors that lead to vaginal bleeding. If you cannot confirm it, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and never try to treat it yourself.
