What is Hemophilia and bleeding disorders?
Hemophilia and other coagulation disorders are conditions in which the body has difficulty forming blood clots properly. In hemophilia A and B, for example, there is a reduced level or absence of certain clotting factors, which may result in a tendency to bleed more easily or for longer than usual.
Alongside hemophilia, there are other inherited and acquired coagulopathies that also affect how blood clots. These conditions can impact daily life, physical activity, and responses to medical procedures or trauma, and therefore require careful assessment by healthcare teams.
