Bleeding gums are severe, and a lot of blood comes out when you brush your teeth, is it leukemia?

Bleeding gums are severe, and a lot of blood comes out as soon as you brush your teeth, which is not necessarily leukemia. There are many causes of bleeding gums, such as oral diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis, as well as systemic diseases.

1. Oral diseases: common in periodontitis and gingivitis, due to bacterial infection leading to inflammation of gum tissue, redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms may occur. Brushing your teeth too hard or using a toothbrush too hard can irritate the gum mucosa, causing blood vessels to rupture and cause bleeding. At this time, it is necessary to go to the stomatology department of the hospital for examination in time, and use metronidazole tablets, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs under the guidance of the doctor;

2. Systemic diseases: such as blood system diseases, including leukemia, aplastic anemia, etc., due to abnormal coagulation function, it will lead to coagulation dysfunction of the body, resulting in the above symptoms.At this time, it is necessary to go to the hematology department of the hospital in time for targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor;

3. Others: If the patient suffers from underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, it is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, cerebral infarction, etc. When blood pressure is poorly controlled, it can lead to bleeding due to rupture of local capillaries. At this time, it is necessary to go to the cardiovascular department of the hospital in time and take antihypertensive drugs for treatment under the guidance of the doctor.

Patients are advised to maintain clean oral hygiene, develop a good habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
