Hemophilia

What is deep red, oozy, sometimes uncontrolable, but something that everybody has? Well if you haven't guessed correctly by now... it's blood!

Blood is a universal, vital source that keeps us living. Without it you couldn't survive. Many people feel faint at the sight of blood, while others get uncontrollably nauseous. Even the tiniest cuts will make them feel sick.
 

But what if those tiny cuts that should normally stop bleeding after a minuite or so, bled for much longer? What would you do? What if you couldn't control your body from bleeding? These may seem like unusual questions, but if you had Hemophilia, it would seem unusual if you didn't answer these questions.

Hemophilia is a blood-clotting disorder

Many people "sort of know" what Hemophilia means, but the majority of people couldn't tell you the different types of Hemophilia, the signs and symptoms you should look for, how to treat it, what to expect from it, and how you can get it.  

Throughout this website, all of your questions about Hemophilia will be answered. Since it does have the potential to be a life threatening disease, I am doing my part by spreading the word of Hemophilia. As long as you clearly understand the seriousness of this blood disorder you will be fine. Because you never know, someone you care about may have it.  This way you will have the knowledge and understanding of what Hemophilia is, and how to react to someone who has it.
