Question 1

my legs are covered in bruises and my shins hurt. i've had problems with nause, bleeding gums, and night sweats.

Accepted Answer

Have a medical check: You should go see your doctor and have them check you and run some simple tests like a CBC and platelet count. I hope you do not have low platelet count. This would be my first thought. But many blood disorders can cause bruising especially if the platelets counts are low due to lack of production in the bone marrow or increased consumption like in itp.

Question 2

what causes  gum bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Bleeding gums is most often from improper hygiene.  When plaque bacteria are not completely cleaned from your teeth, the byproducts of their "living" on your teeth causes an inflammation in your gums and with inflammation comes increased blood flow.  There are some systemic diseases that can cause bleeding gums as well, but it's usually dental plaque.  Check with your dentist for an evaluation.

Question 3

what could cause bleeding gums?

Accepted Answer

Periondontal disease: It is not normal to have bleeding gums.  You should see your dentist and have him or her decide how to proceed with treatment.

Question 4

bleeding gums. what can i do.?.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: This can be from a serious blood condition causing low platelets.  Usually, there are other symptoms too, such as fatigue, and maybe a rash.  If you have not taken good care of your teeth and gums with daily flossing and brushing, this could be from infections of the gum at the base of the teeth, and you may need to have care from a dentist to help heal the diseased gums.

Question 5

how do you treat bleeding gums?

Accepted Answer

Improved oral hygien: Is a baseline.  Invest in an oral b triumph mechanical toothbrush and a waterpik ultra unit and use it regularly ( brushing well at least twice a day and waterpik at night prior to brushing ). Also make sure you are brushing your tongue.  Make sure you are visiting your dentist for checkups and treatment as needed.  Use interdental picks during the day to stimulate the gums.  It is a slow process.

Question 6

how to control the bleeding gums?

Accepted Answer

Why r they bleeding?: If you haven't had a professional cleaning in a while or if you don't brush your teeth well, bacteria will form colonies and stick between your teeth and under the gumline. This inflames the gums and causes them to bleed. See a local dentist for a thorough exam.

Question 7

hey what can i use to stop bleeding gums?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Bleeding gums are usually associated with gingivitis, from not flossing teeth.  Bleeding gums can sometimes be associated with a blood problem or a nutritional problem.  At any rate you need to be seen by your physician or dentist to clarify what is going on.
Good luck.

Question 8

could it be something bad if i have bleeding gums?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Could be. However, the most common cause of gum bleeding is inflammation of the gum itself- i.e. Gingivitis. Other conditions that decrease platelet level or affect clotting system also can give you bleeding in the gum. Oral hygiene is important. See your dentist for dental/gum cleaning. However, if bleeding is excessive , you will need to see your primary doctor or perhaps a hematologist.

Question 9

what should you do to stop gum bleeding when flossing ?

Accepted Answer

A few days but....: Don't 'pop'  the floss between your teeth and hitting the gums. Gently see-saw the floss between your teeth slowly. Once you get between the teeth gently go under the gumline to remove any plaque. I like to floss after brushing before rinsing to help push the toothpaste chemicals between the teeth.  You can also rinse with warm salt water to help sore gums and keep current with your dental exams.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Brush and floss: Bleeding gums are a sign of g um disease, gingivitis or more advanced periodontitis. See a dentist for  an evaluation and to have your teeth cleaned.  Keep brushing and flossing at least twice a day.
