Hemophiliacs blood does not coagulate like a normal persons. Coagulation controls bleeding, it changes blood from a liquid to a solid. Within seconds of a cut or scrape, platelets, calcium and other tissue factors start working together to form a clot.Over a short time the clot strengthens and then dissolves as the injury heals. Hemophiliacs are missing the clotting factor, or it isn't working correctly which causes them to bleed for a longer time.
There are two major kinds of hemophilia, hemophilia A and hemophilia B. About 80% of cases are hemophilia A, which is a factor VIII deficiency. Hemophilia B is when factor IX is lacking.
Symptoms of Hemophiliacs
bleeding in the joints, knees, and ankles. Stiffness without pain in the joints, stiffness with a lot of warmth,(most ability for movement is lost due to swelling) blood in the urine or stool, excessive bleeding after surgery or loosing a tooth, excessive bruising, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and nose bleeds that last for long periods of time.
Dignosis of Hemophiliacs
Blood tests can help determine whether a person has haemophilia. Genetic tests are also available for women who want to know if they are a carrier of the condition.
Prevention
Hemophilia cannot be cured. People with hemophilia should take the following precautions:
Treatment Plan Hemophiliacs
The primary treatment for moderate-to-severe hemophilia is factor replacement therapy, which replaces the blood's deficient clotting factor. You may receive the treatment to stop bleeding or to prevent bleeding from starting. Regular infusions of clotting factor several times a week reduces the risk of bleeding. You may get infusions at home. Your health care provider may also prescribe pain relievers. If internal bleeding has damaged joints, physical therapy or, in severe cases, joint replacement may restore function.
Drug Therapies Hemophiliacs
A health care provider may prescribe the following medications:

Prevention
Hemophilia cannot be cured. People with hemophilia should take the following precautions:
- Avoid taking aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- Get vaccinated (including infants) with the hepatitis B vaccine.
- Administer factor VIII or IX (see below) on a regular basis, to help prevent bleeding and joint damage.
- Avoid circumcising male infants of women known to be carriers until the baby has been tested for hemophilia.
- Carry information at all times identifying the person as someone with hemophilia.

Drug Therapies Hemophiliacs
A health care provider may prescribe the following medications:
- Factor VIII or IX replacement therapy
- Pain relievers other than aspirin or NSAIDs (Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen), as they decrease the blood's ability to clot
- Topical medications to control bleeding
- The drug desmopressin (DDAVP) may be used in mild cases of hemophilia A to stimulate low levels of clotting factor
