HI
Thank for choosing HCM,
The possibility of bleeding disorder is likely, you will have to go for certain blood test to rule out this, Platelet count, bleeding time clotting time , capillary fragility test, although the chances of bleeding disorder in male patient is uncommon, if every test turned normal then it could be idiopathic phenomenon , Please be in touch with HCM, for further advise, Thnak.
