What Does Bleeding In The Roof Of The Mouth Indicate?
Hi Doctor,this evening the roof of my mouth was bleeding.As i have a top denture sometimes it hurts when I m eating.I removed the denture as it was hurting and then when cleaning my mouth there was bright red blood on the tissue.I then washed my mouth in hot water and salt which helped and there has not been any blood.Do you think there any cause for me to b concerned? Could it be cancer?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you suspect that you have cancer, then you should go for a biopsy. A biopsy test will clearly indicate the presence of cancer. Anyways, a detailed investigation is required to find a solution for this problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
