Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Both Xarelto and Aspirin are blood thinning medication..
Taking blood thinners can cause increased episodes of bleeding..
Gum bleeding can.be due to these drugs and in case if there is Infection in gums then the chances of bleeding further increases..
Soy suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get your teeth and gums checked for Infection..
Also you should consult your Physician and get evaluated so that the dose of the medication can be titrated..
As of now available vigorous brushing and use cool compresses on gums to reduce bleeding..

Hope this helps.

Regards..
