Dr. Zhang Heyang
Symptoms of hemophilia in females generally include pain at bleeding sites, joint pain, and impaired mobility. The most commonly affected joints are the knees and elbows. Hemophilia is primarily caused by a deficiency of clotting factors, and gene or chromosomal mutations can easily lead to this condition. Treatment for hemophilia should focus on preventing bleeding episodes. Patients should avoid intramuscular injections and traumatic injuries. Clotting factor deficiencies should be supplemented under the guidance of a physician.
