Today is World Hemophilia Day

Read our short article on Hemophilia and feel free to ask us questions.

Hemophilia is an inherited condition that affects the blood's ability to clotnormally

When you cut yourself, substances in the blood known as clotting factors combine with blood cells called platelets to make the blood sticky which makes the bleeding stop eventually.

However, in hamophilia, there aren't as many clotting factors as there should be in the blood. This means that someone with the condition bleeds for longer than usual.

The condition is passed to a child by one or both of their parents.

The symptoms of haemophilia can be mild to severe, depending on the level of clotting factors you have, most cases are mild, but people with severe haemophilia experience symptoms, which require ongoing care.

People with severe haemophilia often experience internal bleeding. This usually occurs around the joints and muscles, causing pain and stiffness. It can also lead to joint damage over time.
