Condition analysis: 
Trauma in the cervical region as well as irritation can also contribute to this condition in some women. This is highly common in women who use intrauterine devices. If you use tampons that are inserted into the vagina, especially for a prolonged time, you can also get erosion of the vagina or cervix.

Sexual intercourse, inserting speculum and other objects into the vagina is believed to be one of the causes of erosion.

Instructions: 
Signs and Symptoms of Cervical Erosion: Most women with cervical erosion do not have any symptoms. But women with a large area of erosion can suffer from:

Increased Vaginal Discharge: The vaginal discharge is usually copious, clear or cloudy and slippery to the touch. If infections occur, there may be pus cells making the discharge muco-purulent. Infections can also cause the vaginal discharge to have a foul smell.

Bleeding: The columnar cells of cervical erosion are fragile and breaks easily causing bleeding. This is usually seen after sexual intercourse or even after passing hard stool.

Pregnant women who complain of mild bleeding in early pregnancy or blood stained vaginal discharge (brown, black or red) should always be asked if they had had sex in the 12 hours prior to the episode of bleeding.
