My nephew has just been diagnosed with hemophilia. Is it easy to live with on a day to day basis ?

any views and advice very much welcome.

hi sorry to hear about yr nephew. haemophilia is in our family my 2 uncles have it and my dad had colour blindness which is related to it. these things are genetically passed from the male sufferer thru their daughter as carrier to a son. eg my dad was colour blind i passed it to one of my 3 sons. luckily my uncles only had boys so it died out. it is difficult to live with but not impossible. they are both in their seventies and medical treatment has advanced greatly since they were young. in case u dont know its a condition where the blood does not clot properly. this means that any little cut or bruise can be serious, also if they have to have a tooth out or something like that then they usually have to go to hospital. i belive they are given something to help clotting so i think that will enable him to live a relatively normal if somewhat careful life. best wishes to you all.
