If your gums bleed, which is usually a sign of periodontitis (gingivitis), it's okay to use an electric toothbrush, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
1. Choose the appropriate brush head and vibration intensity: Choose a soft brush head to reduce irritation to the gums. In addition, some electric toothbrushes have a variety of vibration intensities to choose from. You can choose a lower vibration intensity to avoid excessive stimulation of the gums.

2. Brush your teeth gently: When using an electric toothbrush, do not brush your teeth too hard, especially when your gums bleed. Avoid excessive force. Gently place the brush head on the tooth surface and let the electric toothbrush complete the cleaning work.
3. Brushing time: It is recommended to brush your teeth for about 2 minutes each time. However, when the gums bleed, the brushing time can be shortened appropriately to avoid over-stimulating the gums.
4. Use of dental floss and interdental brushes: Electric toothbrushes cannot completely replace dental floss. When gums bleed, dental floss or interdental brushes should also be used to clean the areas between teeth and teeth.
5. Regular medical consultation: If gum bleeding continues or worsens, it is recommended to seek medical advice as soon as possible and consult a dentist. Your dentist can evaluate the condition of your gums and plan your treatment accordingly.
Bleeding gums may be caused by poor oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing, regular medical checkups, and paying attention to eating habits are all important aspects of maintaining oral health. When using an electric toothbrush, use a gentle brushing method based on your personal situation to help reduce irritation to your gums and help them restore health.
