Cervical ectropion (cervical erosion) occurs when the soft cells that line the inside of the cervical canal spread to the outer surface of your cervix.These cells are redder and are more sensitive than the cells typically on the outside, which is why they may cause symptoms like bleeding and discharge.Cervial ectropion can be caused by hormonal changes, pregnancy and being on the pill. During pregnancy it usually resolves on its own but since it can sometimes cause bleeding, it is advisable to seek advice from your midwife or maternity triage department to rule out any other cause for the bleeding.
