My partner is 7 weeks pregnant. Had an ultrasound last week and they saw a heartbeat and a sac. She had a little bleeding a few weeks ago but the dr said it was an implantation bleed. She is not bleeding now, the tests were really dark for the last few weeks and now they are getting lighter.
GI bleeding is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease. There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.
What causes bleeding gums? Bleeding gums are mostly caused by gingivitis which is an infection or inflammation of the gum, particularly in the tissue around the teeth. Most often the cause of the irritation is from plaque that live in the mouth. Swelling and bleeding when the teeth are brushed or flossed characterize the infection. Plaque can form on any tooth surface, but the accumulation is heaviest between the teeth and along the gum line, areas that are not self-cleaning.
