Cervical polyps in women are prone to bleeding, which is somewhat related to the causes of their formation. Most cervical polyps occur due to infection of the cervix, leading to proliferative changes. The tissues in these polyps lack muscle fibers, so when they bleed due to contact, there is no way to constrict and close off the bleeding vessels. Furthermore, cervical polyps are soft and fragile, easily bleeding upon contact. Additionally, the surface of cervical polyps is susceptible to invasion by external pathogens, prompting infections, which can exacerbate the occurrence of vaginal bleeding in women.
