Dr. Zhang Heyang
Hemophilic arthritis is caused by hereditary deficiency of plasma coagulation factor VIII or IX, leading to synovitis, bone destruction, and joint movement disorders. Hemophilia is an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by coagulation impairment and bleeding tendencies. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, consume more fresh fruits, and enhance the body's immunity.
