Detailed explanation-1: -What is Hemophilia? Hemophilia is usually an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding as well as bleeding following injuries or surgery. Blood contains many proteins called clotting factors that can help to stop bleeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which the blood doesn’t clot in the typical way because it doesn’t have enough blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors). If you have hemophilia, you might bleed for a longer time after an injury than you would if your blood clotted properly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Von Willebrand disease is an inherited condition that results when the blood lacks functioning von Willebrand factor, a protein that helps the blood to clot and also carries another clotting protein, factor VIII. It is usually milder than hemophilia and can affect both males and females.

Detailed explanation-4: -Factor V Leiden thrombophilia is an inherited disorder of blood clotting . Factor V Leiden is the name of a specific gene mutation that results in thrombophilia, which is an increased tendency to form abnormal blood clots that can block blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hemophilia A: This is the most common type of hemophilia. Hemophilia B: Hemophilia B happens when you don’t have enough clotting factor 9 (factor IX.) Hemophilia C: Hemophilia C is also known as factor 11 (factor XI) deficiency. 14-Nov-2022
