Hemophilia is a genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in clotting factors, crucial for blood coagulation. This results in prolonged bleeding and difficulty forming clots after injury.
Hemophilia is typically inherited, and severity varies. Individuals with hemophilia may experience spontaneous bleeding or prolonged bleeding following minor injuries.
Treatment involves replacement therapy with clotting factor concentrates to manage and prevent bleeding episodes. While there is no cure, ongoing medical care and advances in treatment significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with hemophilia.
