It could be just a chronic infection at your cervix or may be some growth which is resulting in the bleeding.
I would recommend visiting a gynecologist. He may ask you to get a PAP smear done, which is a microscopic test of your cervical tissue, or even an biopsy may be needed.
I would also start an local antifungal pessaries like Clotrimazole along with an oral antibiotic for the infection.
Hope this answers your question, thank you.
