Hello,

It is due to minor mucosal abrasions and will settle by itself. As of now, you can take drugs like tranexamic acid to control bleeding. If bleeding persists you can consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
