Hemophilia

Haemophilia is a rare, hereditary bleeding condition in which a lack of clotting factors—proteins necessary to stop bleeding—causes improper blood coagulation. Haemophilia A, a lack of clotting factor VIII, and Haemophilia B, a lack of factor IX, are the two most often occurring forms. Usually carried on X-linked recessive heredity, this disorder mostly affects men.
People with haemophilia may bleed for a longer period following traumas, surgeries, or even naturally without clear reason. Typical symptoms include persistent bleeding, frequent nosebleeds, large bruises, joint swelling, and internal bleeding; if not properly addressed, the latter may lead to joint injury.
Blood tests measuring clotting factor levels are part of the diagnosis. Although treatment has greatly advanced, there is no permanent cure. Promising outcomes are coming from newer treatments like prolonged half-life factors and gene therapy.
Those with haemophilia should avoid injuries, use protective gear during sports, and get specific treatment. People with haemophilia can lead active and healthy lives by means of appropriate management and lifestyle changes.
