Causes of oral bleeding in pregnant women

Oral bleeding is actually bleeding gums. Many times, people find blood in their mouths when rinsing their mouths. Normal people actually just need to take some medicine, but pregnant women are different. Pregnant women cannot take medicine casually, so they can only use some common sense to improve oral bleeding. There are many reasons for oral bleeding. During pregnancy, oral bleeding is more likely to occur. Here are the reasons for oral bleeding in pregnant women.

1. Physiological factors: Pregnant mothers’ bleeding gums are due to the obvious changes in the gums caused by pregnancy, and these changes are closely related to the physiological changes during pregnancy. Due to the increase of estrogen and progesterone in the pregnant mother's body, the capillaries in the gums expand, bend, and their elasticity decreases, leading to blood stasis and increased permeability of the blood vessel walls, causing gingivitis. Pregnancy gingivitis will worsen as the pregnancy progresses, but the symptoms will disappear on their own after delivery due to the decrease of estrogen and progesterone in the body. In addition, lack of vitamin C can also cause bleeding gums, so pregnant mothers should ensure their vitamin C intake during pregnancy.

2. Oral factors In addition to pregnancy reactions, gingival bleeding caused by local oral factors is also common. If pregnant mothers do not clean their mouths, food residues, plaque and tartar will often accumulate around the teeth. Various bacteria in the mouth will multiply in large numbers, leading to gingivitis and bleeding gums, often accompanied by bad breath. In addition, if the pregnant mother suffers from gum disease, the gums may easily break due to friction when chewing, which may also cause bleeding.

After pregnancy, there are many things to pay attention to. Even a small oral bleeding will attract a lot of attention. There are many reasons for oral bleeding in pregnant women. It is recommended that you go to the dental department for a check-up to see if it is caused by any disease. If the mouth bleeding is simply caused by getting angry, then just eat a light diet and drink plenty of water.
