What Would Be The Reasons For Spitting Blood While Cleaning Teeth?
I spit blood fairly often when cleaning my teeth, and seem to be tired most of the time.
I have recently had TSH and iron levels tested. My TSH was 0.03, so Thryoxine decreased from 100mg to 75mg per day (since last Friday). Iron levels were said to be good. The only other medication I take is Fesoteridine.
I saw on the back of a bus that if you spit blood when cleaning your teeth, there's a possibility of bowel cancer. Is this paranoia, or do I need to look into it?
many thanks

Hai.dont think of all ultimate diagnosis, it will be most commonly cdue to vitamin c deficiency. U can start with tab limcee 500 and tab riboflavin 10mg twice daily, after food and see the difference. If still persistent u can go for complete haemogram, bleeding and clotting time and coagulation profile. Pls dont panic
