Understanding Hemophilia Disease?


Hello everyone. I need your guidance badly. A few questions below that I would like to know about your opinions:

1. A small child is infected with some kinds of disease, let's say hemophlia and his frequent blood flowing makes him lives in fear as he finds himself so different from many normal children of his same age. So, the child asks, what is wrong with him and you as a parent, what would you say or any comforting words in reply to convince him?

2. Hemophilia is a gene-related disease. So far there is no treatment to cure it. But are there possibilities that one infected by this disease can recover from it completely and leads normal life because of taking regular injections, etc. ?

3. Hemophilia is not a disease that can make one has mental-retardation, right? He still has the intelligence and learning abilities like others?

4. Someone with hemophilia has vigorous and non-stop bleeding if "only" he is "injured". Is this true?

Thank you for replying but I am in hope if someone can give me direct answer for my question 1 and 3. How would you tell your child that he has hemophilia in the way that doesn't fear him and persuasion. What would you say? Hemophilia ppl still have mental development and intelligence the same like normal ppl do, right? Please tell me. I need clarification. Thank you so much!

Hemophilias are common hereditary bleeding disorders caused by deficiencies of either clotting factor VIII or IX. The extent of factor deficiency determines the probability and severity of bleeding. Bleeding into deep tissues or joints usually develops within hours of trauma. The diagnosis is suspected in a patient with an elevated Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and normal PT and platelet count; it is confirmed by specific factor assays. Treatment includes replacement of the deficient factor if acute bleeding is suspected, confirmed, or likely to develop (eg, before surgery).
Please see the web pages for more details on Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B and Von Willebrand disease
