I was wonderind what causes bleeding and swollen gums/ Is this a curable disease?  I am 54 years ikdm 5 2 and weigth 172 pounds. I have been in good condition except for bleeding gums recently. THat is very alarming. My mother have had this for many years.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bleeding gums could be because of the deposits causing gum infection, or it can be because of bleeding disorders like thrombocytopenic purpura. Consult an oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and take topical gum astringent like stolen gum paint. Get your blood investigations like BT, CT, PT AND INR to rule out bleeding disorders. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
