Dr. Zhang Heyang
If severe joint changes due to hemophilia do not cause functional impairment, treatment may include medications such as danazol or desmopressin as prescribed by a doctor. Additionally, under medical guidance, regular infusions of clotting factors may be administered according to individual circumstances to help maintain normal joint and muscle function. If significant functional impairment occurs, joint replacement surgery may be considered based on the physician's recommendation.
