Hemophilia :
Hemophilia is a blood disorder of genetic origin and an inherited condition. When diagnosed with hemophilia, the body doesn't make enough clotting factors and proteins, which may increase the risk of bleeding and lead to the formation of blood clots. Hemophilia is categorized into several types, such as hemophilia A, hemophilia B, and hemophilia C. The lack of clotting factor VIII causes hemophilia A; hemophilia B occurs because of decreased levels of factor IX, and not having enough clotting factor XI causes hemophilia C, which is a rare condition. The significant signs of hemophilia include bleeding for an unusually long time after any dental treatment or surgery, or simply after a cut, and also without a reason, as in large bruises after minor injuries and nose bleeds. The presenting complaints of Hemophilia in babies include swollen lumps on the head, fussiness, bleeding from the mouth, minor injuries, and hematoma. The management of hemophilia involves replacement therapy.
