Bleeding after obturation

Doctor, sometimes I dry the canal and there is nothing, but after filling it, while waiting for the radiograph, bleeding sometimes occurs. What could cause this?

Translated version of the Turkish original

Pulp tissue may remain in the canal or material may have extruded apically during filling. This may not be a problem with bioceramic sealers, but with resin-based sealers it may prevent the apical sealer from setting.
