Hello,
Thanks for using HCM.
In many of the patients with bleeding problem there is deficiency of vitamin C that leads to fragile blood vessels and bleeding. This is more common when there is improper food habits.
If you are a tobacco chewer, there may be benign or malignant lesion that may not be visible due to small size.
Ask your dentist for the coagulation profile which includes bleeding time, clotting time and INR. If there is abnormality in that he will be able to correct problem.
In case that is already done see specialist ent surgeon. He will examine the posterior part of oral cavity as there may be pathology in that region.
Thanks and regards
