Women with gingival bleeding and menorrhagia should undergo a complete blood count to check for coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia, or impaired blood clotting. If necessary, a bone marrow aspiration should be performed and sent for pathological examination to determine the nature of the bleeding. If these symptoms are associated with certain systemic diseases, they may also cause menstrual bleeding. Additionally, oral inflammatory conditions such as periodontitis, dental crown inflammation, and chronic caries may contribute to gingival bleeding.
