Probably just gingivitis (brush more). I think what the Shemp is getting at is abnormal blood production - particularily low platelets. These are responsible for your blood's clotting properties. Low platelets can be a sign of something serious (autoimmune disorders, cancer, internal bleeding), especially if the numbers are low enough to result in easy bleeding or bruising.
