Actually, What is Hemophilia?
      Hemophilia is a hereditary disease in which a person with this disease is easy to bleed because of the difficulty of blood to clot. This disease is usually passed from parent to child who was born. Patients usually experience bleeding in the skin and even internal organs such as the digestive tract. Usually, hemophilia disease will be experienced by men while women are only carriers (careers). But did not rule out women can have it.

In normal people, when the wound occurs soon after the wound will dry and this is due to the blood clotting. The process is by shrinking blood vessels in the wound. And after that, the platelets will close the wound on the blood vessels. Then blood clotting will make woven or fibrin yarn that covers the wound.

Well in people with hemophilia, there will be a disturbance in the blood clotting system that makes the wound that should dry will continue to bleed. Patients with hemophilia disease are more likely to bleed than mild hemophilia, but not as severe as severe hemophilia. Bleeding is sometimes due to excessive body activity, such as excessive exercise. While people with severe hemophilia is the most severe. They only have a factor level VII or IX of less than 1% of the normal amount in their blood. People with severe hemophilia may experience bleeding several times a month. Sometimes bleeding just happens for no apparent reason.



Most people with hemophilia are caused by genetic factors or derivatives of parents.
If that happens, then parents should be wary of possible hemophilia.
