What are the reasons for a slightly red cervix?

Patient's question:

After menopause for a year and a half, there is very little bleeding. Ultrasound shows normal, the doctor said the cervix is a bit red, what is the reason?

Doctor's answer:

The most common cause of postmenopausal bleeding is inflammation, cervical lesions, or endometrial inflammation. If a careful ultrasound examination shows that the uterus has not decreased in size and the endometrium has not significantly thickened, it is necessary to carefully investigate the possibility of cervical causes. If cervical redness is observed, it is not ruled out as a cause of cervical inflammation. It is recommended to perform cervical screening, combining cervical TCT and HPV tests to further assess the condition of the cervix and determine the underlying cause of the bleeding for additional treatment.
