Is it normal to bleed after a cervical erosion check?

Patient's question:

After just finishing a routine vaginal discharge test and a cervical TCT, I came back and started bleeding, but my period had already passed. The doctor said it was mild cervical erosion, meaning it would bleed with just a touch, and the report would be ready in 10 days.

Doctor's answer:

After the cervical erosion examination, bleeding indicates inflammation in the cervix, making it prone to tearing upon contact. The amount of bleeding should be extremely minimal, with blood streaks mixed in the leukorrhea. Avoid sexual activity for the next few days and wait for the examination results to take medication accordingly. Patients facing cervical erosion interference should promptly follow the symptomatic treatment principle and not avoid seeking medical attention. If cervical erosion does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
