Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which the blood doesn't clot in the typical way because it doesn't have enough blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors). If you have Hemophilia, you might bleed for a longer time after an injury than you would if your blood clotted properly.

Hemophilia is a Bleeding Disorder that slows the blood clotting process. People with this condition experience prolonged bleeding or oozing following an injury, surgery, or having a tooth pulled.

Bleeding Disorders are a group of conditions that result when the blood cannot clot properly. In normal clotting, platelets, a type of blood cell, stick together and form a plug at the site of an injured blood vessel.

Symptoms of Bleeding Disorders may include :



• Bleeding into joints
• Bleeding gums
• Excessive bleeding following surgery
• Easy bruising
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
