Does anyone Know what Hemophilia is?

thank u every one for the answers i got enough info to give me at least an A+

The hemophilias are inherited disorders that cause abnormal bleeding. Symptoms range from increased bleeding after trauma, injury, or surgery to sudden bleeding with no apparent cause. The two types of hemophilia are hemophilia A (also called classic hemophilia) and hemophilia B (also called Christmas disease). Hemophilia A is more common -- about 85% of people who have hemophilia have this form.

Hemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally. Persons with hemophilia may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury or accident. They also may bleed internally, especially in the joints (knees, ankles, and elbows).

Hemophilia is an inherited disorder in which there is inability to form an effective clot and hence causes prolonged bleeding in a patient. It is seen exclusively in males. A person with hemophilia does not bleed faster, only longer.

Yes, I do know what it is. But, I would be doing you an educational injustice if I provided all the information for your report, rather than you taking this opportunity to learn something.

Google it or find a library. There is a LOT of information in hemophilia out there just waiting for you to read it.

It is an inherited disease which slows down blood coagulation.

If the affected person is injured, he/she is will bleed longer than normal.

It is well described and not too technical.

heamophilia is when there is a certain part of the blood missing, the clotting agent that stops cuts bleeding endlessly. The slightest knock to a heamophiliac could cause internal bleeding and enormous pain as the pressure of the blood under the skin mounts.

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that often results in excessive bleeding. The condition can range from mild to severe. In its most serious forms, it can lead to death.

Interesting fact: the most famous hemophiliac was little Prince Alexis the youngest child of he last Tzar of Russia - Nicholas and Alexandra. He was assisinated during the Russian Revolution along with the royal family.

Hemophilia is a rare genetic blood disorder. Hemophiliacs have dificulty clotting. So once they start to bleed they have a hard time stopping. They can bleed to death.

Some European royal families have hemophilia in their genetic pool. Queen Victoria and the Crown Prince Alexis of Russia both had it.

(NB- hemophilia is NOT a type of cancer.)

it's like a problem with blood clotting or something, if a person who's a hemophiliac gets a cut, they won't be able to stop bleeding
