Why is there bleeding after a gynecological examination?

Patient's question:

I went for a gynecological examination yesterday, it was a colposcopy, but why did my skin peel after the gynecological examination?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, if there are abnormalities in the cervix, such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical inflammation, or early cervical cancer, the cervix may be fragile and may experience further tearing during contact. This is a natural response of the cervix. If the cervical lesions are not severe, the amount of bleeding will definitely not be too much. If a pathology examination is performed under a colposcope, the gauze can be removed 24 hours later.
