Hemophilia is a rare hereditary blood disorder that increases the risk of sudden and excessive bleeding and bruising due to not having enough clotting proteins in the blood. Replacing clotting factors in the blood (along with other medications) can treat hemophilia. You’ll need to take these for life and avoid activities that increase injury risk.
