Hemophilia Prevention: 1. Avoid injury: Due to abnormal blood clotting function in patients with hemophilia, it is important to avoid trauma and strenuous exercise to reduce the risk of bleeding. 2. Pre-marital examination: Hemophilia is a hereditary disease; pre-marital genetic testing can help promote healthy childbirth and prevent the disease in future generations. 3. Avoid medications affecting blood clotting: Drugs such as aspirin should be avoided to prevent exacerbation of bleeding tendencies. Treatment: 1. Medication: By supplementing the missing clotting factors, such as recombinant factor VIII preparations, to improve blood clotting function. 2. Surgical treatment: Surgery can be performed to treat certain bleeding symptoms when adequate clotting factor levels are ensured. 3. Physical therapy and rehabilitation: Through physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises, muscle and joint dysfunction can be prevented and alleviated. Hemophilia treatment should be conducted according to the patient's specific condition and the recommendations of the physician.
