use as soft bristled toothbrush and do not floss: no gum bleeding,
no ASA or NSAIDS-cause more bleeding. no contact sports. avoid anal

take stool softener, no enemas or suppositories, do not blow nose or
insert anything into nose=pressure can cause bleeding-notify provider
if: persistent bleeding, excessive menstrual bleeding, blood in urine or
stool
