Brief Answer:
Needs Examination by gynecologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about bleeding.

The bleeding is likely to be from cervix. Cervical erosion generally bleeds like this.

This can be identified only after examination by gynecologist.

Please get yourself examined at the earliest and let me know.
