Symptom #9: Bleeding gums
As mentioned earlier, patients with leukemia can have a low platelet count, also known as thrombocytopenia, along with other clotting complications (i.e. disseminated intravascular coagulation).

Patients with MM can also exhibit thrombocytopenia, leading to an increase in bleeding and bruising.
