Hemophilia
We all sort of have a basic idea on what hemophilia is but do we really know the whole background of it and how it occurs? Read on to find out!
Hemophilia is basically a group of hereditary genetic disorder that damages the body's ability to control thee blood clotting, which is used to stop bleeding when the blood vessel is broken. The most common form of the disorder, that is present in about 1 in 5,000-10,000 male births, is in fact Hemophilia. It occurs in around 1 in about 20,000-34,000 male births. Hemophilia affects the X chromosomes and the disorder generally affects the males because, women are the carriers of the disease and since they have an additional X chromosome to cancel out the bad gene they are not affected. Men who have hemophilia, they cannot pass down the disorder to their sons because they would be passing the Y chromosome, which is healthy, but the daughters would be carriers of the disease since they are receiving the fathers affected X chromosome. Thus hemophilia is considered a sex-linked disease.
What causes hemophilia? Hemophilia is caused but genetic makeup but it is also possible for someone to acquire hemophilia through a unplanned genetic mutation. It can also be developed if the body forms antibodies to clotting factors in the blood that prohibit the clotting factors from working.
Hemophilia can be detected by going to your family doctor who will ask questions about your personal and family medical history. If this patient does not have any family or personal medical history then physical exam and blood tests may be done to diagnose hemophilia. the blood tests are used to find out the following:
- How long it takes for your blood to clot
- Whether your blood has low levels of any clotting factors
- Whether any clotting factors are completely missing from your blood
The blood tests will identify whether or not you have hemophilia, how severe it is and what type of hemophilia it is. The estimated lifespan of a hemophiliac is about 50-60 years.
The following are some symptoms of hemophilia:
- Bleeding into joints
- Bleeding into soft tissues and muscles
- Bleeding in the mouth from a cut, bitten tongue etc
- Blood in the urine
- Surface bruising
There are many ways to treat hemophilia:
- Replacement therapy ( In which they infect concentrates of clotting factor VIII, helps replace clotting factor that is running low or missing)
- Desmopressin
- Antifibrinolytic Medicines
- Gene therapy
- Treatment of a specific bleeding site
Question: Do you think Hemophiliacs should play rough sports outside? Why or why not?

I do not think hemophiliacs should play rough sports because rough sports often result in injuries. Although the injuries caused by rough sports may not always be severe, they may cause death for hemophiliacs. For hemophiliacs, even minor injuries can detrimental because their blood cannot clot. While injuries can be treated, most people end up with several small scrapes and cuts from playing sports. It would be difficult to detect and treat the many injuries resulting from rough sports. That's why I think hemophiliacs should refrain from playing rough sports.
ReplyDeleteWOW ALL THANKS TO DR WILLIAMS I HAVE NEVER BELIEVE IN HERBAL REMEDIES.
ReplyDeleteI have been a patient of hemophilia for more then 26 years . I had tried a lot of anti viral med prescribed to me by doctors over the years but I could not see any improvements in my symptoms. One day when going through the internet , i got to know about this great Herbal Dr who uses his herbal remedies in curing people from hemophilia,quickly i contacted him and he prepared a herbal medication for me which i received and used as instructed. After few weeks the improvement were very visible. the pain and tightness in the joints stopped and the sores started to heal. I would recommend this to all my friends,families,around the globe suffering from hemophilia.you can contact him through his email on drwilliams098675@gmail.com.for advice and for his product THANKS TO YOU ONCE AGAIN DR WILLIAMS
Having haemophilia A this means that his body, his immune system, fights off the medicine – the infused factor VIII. The alternative clotting factors that we used to control bleeding were much less effective. His medical condition was heart broken. Despite our visit to several doctors his health wasn't getting better. He was subjected to different medications, by many doctors for treatment without the assurance of having a permanent cure. Having a son with hemophilia and then, the added challenge of an inhibitor, is not always easy. Suspicion that something wasn’t right began when he was 6 months old due to the heavy amount of bruising which started showing up all over his legs. As a parent, I would love to fix things and make everything better. Fortunately, there have been other positive alternative (Herbal Medicine) though few people doesn't know the challenges of living with hemophilia. If your child is having same problem, do not expose him/her to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective.
