Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a rare hereditary bleeding disorder where the blood cannot clot normally at the site of a wound or injury. Where someone who has a minor cut can profusely bleed, and it can get so bad that it could end up making them sick.
There are two types of hemophilia, Type A and Type B.
Type A: Is the most common type, it is caused by lacking Factor VII, which is one of the proteins to help blood form clots. Type B is caused by lacking Factor IX.
Hemophilia is normally diagnosed at birth, it can still be found later in life if your body begins to produce antibodies that attack and destroy clotting factors.
