Hemophilia Treatment

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder where blood lacks certain clotting factors, causing excessive bleeding. Treatment primarily involves regular infusions of these missing clotting factors, which help blood to clot properly. This can be done through either on-demand therapy during bleeding episodes or with prophylactic treatment to prevent bleeds. Advances include recombinant clotting factors (lab-made), gene therapy (potential long-term cure), and other supportive measures like antifibrinolytics. Proper management requires close monitoring by healthcare professionals to reduce bleeding risks and improve quality of life.
