Every Morning I See Blood While Brushing. What Could Be The Reason For This?
Every morning I see blood while brushing. I had couple of times gone for endoscopy. First time, there was a small cut kind of thing, had some treatment. second time, nothing has come. I am sure it is not die to gums (of teeth) issue. What are symptons of Blood cancer , what tests are to be done and what will be the cost?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
The bleeding can occur from trauma while brushing especially in the deeper regions of your oral cavity in areas you may not be able to see. You can get a total blood count and haemoglobin. At present take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables as Vitamin C deficiency can cause easy bleeding from gums. Drink plenty of water. Follow up with Haematologist if you fear blood cancer especially if it runs in family.
