Hemophilia is a rare disorder of blood clotting most commonly inherited. In this disease, the blood does not clot normally after an injury due to the deficiency of clotting factors (substances that help the blood clot), and it takes longer for the bleeding to stop. The severity ranges from mild to severe. Bleeding into the joints can occur spontaneously or upon minor trauma, leading to joint destruction. Easy bruising and bleeding into other organs, especially the brain, can be life-threatening. It almost always affects males and appears early in life. It is managed by replacing the clotting factors and avoiding reckless activities that can lead to trauma.
