Guide To Treating And Managing Hemophilia

Hemophilia is a disorder where the blood cannot clot the way it should. Clotting is slowed and patients will bleed quite a lot even after a small injury. Hemophilia A is the most common form, followed by hemophilia B. The reason patients do not clot properly and can experience sudden bleeding is that they are lacking either factor IX or VIII, which are two clotting factor proteins. In almost all cases, hemophilia is an inherited condition.
