Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot. People with hemophilia often experience prolonged bleeding after injuries or surgeries, and they may also have spontaneous bleeding episodes. This condition is usually inherited and is more common in males, as it is linked to the X chromosome. There are different types of hemophilia, with Hemophilia A being the most common, caused by a deficiency in factor VIII, a protein essential for blood clotting. Treatment typically involves replacing the missing clotting factors through injections, allowing individuals to manage their condition and lead active lives.
