Cervical erosion bleeding is cervical bleeding?

Patient's question:

The doctor said it's cervical erosion of the second degree, cervical bleeding, and the bleeding has lasted for two days. I want to ask, is it uterine bleeding or cervical bleeding?

Doctor's answer:

It may be cervical erosion, which is the shedding of the epithelial cells at the external os of the cervix replaced by another type of epithelial tissue. Due to the thinness of the newly formed epithelial covering, it can even be delicate. The underlying blood vessels and red tissue can be seen, making it appear as if there is a large amount of erosion, hence the term "cervical erosion." Treating cervical erosion is relatively difficult, and it has a high risk of malignancy. It is recommended to undergo microwave therapy, which can be somewhat effective.
