What is HIMOPHILIA?!


Question:
WHAT IS HEMOPHILIA?
Answers:
Hemophilia is a disease of the blood that prevents the red blood cells from clotting "sticking together" when you get a cut. In regular people, they would stick together to stop the bleeding, and then form a scab. In hemophiliacs, a simple cut can cause serious, tramatic bleeding. Imagine dying from a paper cut. Thats how serious it can be. They often require many many transfusions.

Other Answers:
This is when the blood no longer clots! Like on a cut or during surgery.

Hemophilia is a blood disorder where the blood does not clot. Therefore, when a hemophiliac bleeds from even the slightest injury, they could essentially bleed to death.

It's an inherited trait in which the person's blood fails to clot properly. It can lead to a life of discomfort and increasing disablity. Fortunately, there is a very successful therapy. This involves transfusing the hemopheliac with a donated blood product that suppliments the hemopheliac's own clotting factor. People who want to help can call their nearest Red Cross blood bank for an appointment to go down and donate blood.
