What is Haemophilia?

Haemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly due to a deficiency in specific clotting factor proteins, most commonly factor VIII or IX. This deficiency causes prolonged or excessive bleeding after injuries, surgery, or sometimes spontaneously into joints and muscles. It is an X-linked genetic condition, meaning it predominantly affects males while females are typically carriers. Severity varies based on how much clotting factor activity remains in the blood.

Severity

Severe

Prevalence

Rare — affects about 1 in 5,000 male births for haemophilia A

Contagious

No

Causes of Haemophilia

Caused by inherited mutations in the genes coding for clotting factor VIII (haemophilia A) or factor IX (haemophilia B), located on the X chromosome. Because males have only one X chromosome, a single defective gene copy is enough to cause the disease, while females typically need two copies to be affected and more often serve as asymptomatic carriers.

Symptoms of Haemophilia

Prolonged bleeding after cuts or surgery, easy and excessive bruising, spontaneous bleeding into joints causing pain and swelling, blood in urine or stool, frequent nosebleeds, unexplained large bruises, tightness or swelling in joints, prolonged bleeding after dental procedures

Treatment & Types of Haemophilia in Dwarka, Delhi

Treatment centers on replacement therapy with concentrated clotting factor infused intravenously to prevent or control bleeding episodes, often given prophylactically in severe cases. Newer non-factor therapies and gene therapy are emerging options, alongside careful avoidance of medications that increase bleeding risk like aspirin and NSAIDs.

Haemophilia has two main types based on the deficient clotting factor: haemophilia A, caused by factor VIII deficiency and the more common form, and haemophilia B, caused by factor IX deficiency. Severity is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the percentage of normal clotting factor activity remaining in the blood, which directly predicts how often spontaneous bleeding occurs and how aggressively treatment is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is haemophilia only inherited by boys?

Because the affected genes are on the X chromosome, males need only one defective copy to be affected while females typically need two, so haemophilia predominantly affects males, with females usually being carriers, though carriers can occasionally have mild symptoms themselves.

Can haemophilia be cured?

There is no widely available cure yet, though gene therapy is an emerging option showing promise for some patients, and current replacement therapy allows most people with haemophilia to live full, active lives.

What should someone with haemophilia avoid?

Medications that increase bleeding risk, like aspirin and NSAIDs, and contact sports with high injury risk should generally be avoided, while low-impact exercise is actually encouraged to support joint health.

How is haemophilia treated day to day?

Regular prophylactic infusions of clotting factor concentrate are often used in severe haemophilia to prevent spontaneous bleeding before it starts, rather than only treating bleeds after they occur.

Can carriers of haemophilia have symptoms?

Yes, some female carriers have factor levels low enough to cause mild bleeding symptoms themselves, so carrier testing and factor level checks are recommended for women with a family history.

Living with and managing Haemophilia

Most long-term conditions are managed by a specialist together with a general physician. Keep a record of your diagnosis, test results and medicines, go for the follow-up tests your doctor advises, and ask what warning signs should prompt an earlier visit. For Haemophilia, bring previous reports and a list of current medicines to every appointment so changes can be tracked over time.

Do not stop or change prescribed medicines without talking to your doctor, even if you feel better.
