Someone in the memory of his lover quoted “I miss you like a haemophilic miss a blood clot”, we all struggle in life and all are aware of or used to unhealed and continuously bleeding emotional wounds. But can you imagine if the same happens for the physical scars as well? Yes, it does happen with some and the condition is called “haemophilia” in medical term.
Haemophilia is a mostly inherited genetic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding. This results in people bleeding for a longer time after an injury, easy bruising, and an increased risk of bleeding inside joints or the brain.
There are two types of haemophilia. Both have the same symptoms:
• Haemophilia A is the most common form and is caused by having reduced levels of clotting factor VIII (8).
• Haemophilia B, also known as Christmas Disease, is caused by having reduced levels of clotting factor IX (9).
It’s extremely rare for women to be born with the condition because of the way it’s passed down genetically. A female would need to inherit two copies of the faulty gene — one from each parent — to develop haemophilia
Haemophilia is not contagious.
Symptoms
Haemophilia symptoms include
*excessive bleeding and easy bruising. The severity of symptoms depends on how low the level of clotting factors is in the blood.
*Bleeding can occur externally or internally.
*Any wound, cut, bite, or dental injury can lead to excessive external bleeding.
*Spontaneous nosebleeds are common.
*There may be prolonged or continued bleeding after bleeding previously ceased.
*Signs of excessive internal bleeding include blood in the urine or stools, and large, deep bruises.
*Bleeding can also happen within joints, like knees and elbows, causing them to become swollen, hot to the touch, and painful to move.
*A person with haemophilia may experience internal bleeding in the brain following a bump on the head.
*Symptoms of brain bleeding can include headaches, vomiting, lethargy, behavioural changes, clumsiness, vision problems, paralysis, and seizures.

Treatment
Haemophilia is treated with replacement therapy. This involves giving or replacing the clotting factors that are too low or missing in a patient with the condition. Patients receive clotting factors by injection or intravenously.
Clotting factor treatments for replacement therapy can be derived from human blood, or they can be synthetically produced in a laboratory.
