Doctors in Hemophilia
Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to stop bleeding. It is caused by a deficiency of the blood clotting factor VIII, which is essential for blood clotting. People with hemophilia have a higher risk of serious bleeding episodes, which can result in joint damage, internal bleeding, and even death. Treatment typically involves regular injections of the blood clotting factor, and patients must also take medication to prevent blood clots. Many people with hemophilia are able to lead normal lives with proper treatment, but some may experience chronic pain or other complications. It is important for people with hemophilia to work closely with a healthcare professional to manage their condition and prevent serious bleeding episodes.
