Factor VII deficiency

Factor VII deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder where the blood lacks enough of a protein called Factor VII, which is essential for proper blood clotting. Without enough Factor VII, the blood can't clot effectively, leading to an increased risk of bleeding episodes, such as nosebleeds, bruises, or bleeding after injury or surgery. The severity varies depending on how much Factor VII is missing, and some people may experience frequent bleeding, while others have mild symptoms. It is typically inherited and diagnosed through blood tests, with treatment options like replacement therapy available for those affected.
