Usually severe gingivitis or periodontitis can cause bleeding. A picture would have helped to analyze better.
Also, you can expect bleeding gum when there are less platelet counts or if you are on blood thinners/ anticoagulants.
Next Steps
Kindly visit a dentist for clinical examination.
Health Tips
If the bleeding is due to gingivitis/ periodontitis, it can be resolved by a simple scaling itself.

First go for normal scaling (cleaning) procedure. This should have happen due to plaque and calculus , this causes inflammation of gums.
Start using betadine gargles.
