Brief Answer:
Several causes

Detailed Answer:
hi and welcome. the exact cause of blood may be anywhere in genital,urologic or colon system. it is not uncommon that rest of vagina bleeds due to vaginitis, vaginal polyp or injury. also urethritis, urinary stones as well.and third,rectal polyps or hemorrhoids. So you should check all these but if there is such rare bleeding then there is no need to worry.
