Hello and welcome to HCM,
Inflamed cervix can occur in number of conditions like cervical erosion, cervical ectropion, cervicitis, malignancy, etc.
Any of above mentioned condition can cause bleeding from the cervix.
The Pap smear should be repeated.
A colposcopic examination is required followed by cervical biopsy.
HPV infection is unlikely to cause frequent bleeding.
Thus, other possibilities have to be looked for.
Thanks and take care
