Signs of Hemophilia .... External Bleeding: -Bleeding in the mouth from a cut or bite or from cutting or losing a tooth -Nosebleeds for no obvious reason -Heavy bleeding from a minor cut -Bleeding from a cut that resumes after stopping for a short time Internal Bleeding -Bleeding in the kidneys, bladder, or intestines or stomach Bleeding in the Brain Bleeding in the brain is a very serious matter, it a very servere sign of Hemophilia. Some include..... -long-lasting painful headaches or neck pain or stiffness -Repeated Vomiting -Changes in behavior, or being very sleepy -Sudden weakness or clumsiness of the arms or legs or difficulty walking -Double Vision -Canvulsions or Seizures All of this could happen with bleeding in the brain by a simple bump on the head or a more servere injury.

Hemophilia Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which your blood does't clot normally. If you have this disorder you may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury. The most common places you bleed internally is nees, ankles, and elbows. If you bleed too badly you can damage your organs or tissues, and sometimes be fatal.

These are a few things about Hemophilia!!! If you are born with Hemophilia, you will have little to none of a protein needed for normal blood clotting. This protein is called a clotting factor. There are many different types of clotting factors, and they work together with platelets to help blood clot. These platelets are small pieces of blood cells that are formed in teh bone marrow. They play a very major role in blood clotting.

Treatments for Hemophilia The main treatment for Hemophilia is called replacement therapy. Replacement therapy is giving or replacing the clotting factor that's too low or missing. Concentrates of clotting factor for Hemophilia A or clotting factor for Hemophilia B are slowly dripped in or injected into a vein. Clotting factor concentrates can be made from human blood that has been treated to prevent the spread of diseases, such as hepatitis. With the new methods of screening and treating donated blood, the risk of developing an infectious disease from clotting factors taken from human blood is now very small. There are complications in replacement therapy...... -Developing antibodies, which are proteins that act against the clotting factors. -Developing viral infections from human clotting factors. -Damage to joint muscles, or other parts of the body resulting from delays in treatment.
