Dr. Zhang Heyang
Hemophilia is a disease caused by genetic factors. Currently, there are no drugs or methods available to cure this condition. Patients are born with a deficiency of clotting factors, and even minor injuries can lead to bleeding. If hemophilia leads to severe bleeding, clotting factors must be administered promptly for treatment. Patients should normally avoid eating foods containing bones or spines to prevent injury. In case of bleeding, moderate exercise is recommended during the chronic phase, while rest is advised during the acute phase.
