What is haemophilla?

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder in which the blood does not clot properly. This is because people with hemophilia lack or have reduced levels of certain clotting proteins in their blood. As a result, they may bleed for a longer time than usual after an injury, and they may experience spontaneous bleeding episodes.

There are two main types of hemophilia:

* Hemophilia A: This is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII.

* Hemophilia B: This is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor IX.

Hemophilia is an inherited disorder, which means that it is passed down from parents to children through genes. In most cases, hemophilia is passed down from mothers to sons. However, it is also possible for daughters to carry the hemophilia gene and pass it on to their children.

Symptoms of hemophilia can vary depending on the severity of the disorder. People with mild hemophilia may only experience occasional bleeding episodes, while people with severe hemophilia may experience frequent and severe bleeding episodes.

Symptoms of hemophilia can include:

* Bleeding for a long time after an injury

* Spontaneous bleeding episodes

* Bruising easily

* Painful joints

* Swollen joints

Treatment for hemophilia typically involves replacing the missing clotting factor. This can be done through blood transfusions or infusions of clotting factor concentrate. Other treatments may include medications to prevent bleeding and physical therapy to help strengthen joints.
