Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding gums could be because of the deposits causing gum infection or it can be because of bleeding disorders like thrombocytopenic purpura.
Consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and take topical gum astringens like stolin gum paint. Get your blood investigations like BT,CT, PT AND INR to rule out bleeding disorders.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Bleeding gums is a sign of the gingivitis ( gum inflammation ) which is usually caused by various factors like improper maintenance of th oral cavity, some medicines and many others.
I would advice you to visit your dentist and get your teeth cleaned and check on your gingival and periodontal status and get it treated .This will reduce the bleeding of gums.
Follow up and maintaining the gums after the cleaning is very important , to avoid recurrence.
Use chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while.
Hope this was beneficial for you .
Thanks and warm regards.
