Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query as you have bleeding gums dont worry it can be due to periodontal problem also not necessary that it is associated with vasulitis .
Consult dentist and go for oral examination if it os due to periodontal problem then go for Scaling and root planning
Hope this will help you.
