Dr. Zhang Heyang
Hemophilia-related knee pain is usually caused by bleeding into the joint cavity or muscles. Treatment under a doctor's guidance may include hemostatic medications, such as clotting factor injections. Improvement can also be achieved through plasma transfusion or cryoprecipitate infusion. In addition to these methods, applying a warm towel for local heat application during daily care may help.
