Hi and thanks for the query,
It would be interesting having a critical evaluation of the bleeding. The growth at the level of the cervix could be tumor, malignant or benign. Getting some tissue from this mass and examining it is important, for it could explain bleeding. Endometriosis presents itself with pain.
I would suggest a uterine biopsy, to examine for problem or tumor of the uterus that can explain bleeding. Testing for STIs and getting an ultrasound done is very important. The ultrasound could also show presence or absence of fibroids, common causes of bleeding too. I suggest you consult a gynecologist. Kind regards.
