Hemophilia-related gastrointestinal bleeding usually causes bloody stools, black-colored feces, and abdominal pain. Some patients may also experience hematemesis or hemoptysis. These symptoms are typically due to coagulation disorders that reduce the body's production of active thromboplastin. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow medical advice for treatment, in order to avoid delayed diagnosis, worsening of the condition, and adverse effects on health.
