Hemorrhage in joints (hemarthrosis)
In addition to bruising, the most frequent manifestation of hemophilia are hemorrhages in joints. These hemorrhages should be treated seriously, as over time, if they are not treated, they lead to arthritis, and as a consequence, the deformations of the joint and disability. Hemarthrosis can be caused by injury, and can be spontaneous. If the treatment is not available for more than four hours, pain can become unbearable, the joint will swallow, and treatment will be treated for several days.

Hemophilia is manifested by varying degrees of gravity, and these differences are determined by the number of blood clotting factor. Usually, if the patients with hemophilia belong to one family, they have almost the same number of blood coagulation factor in.
The normal level is considered to be 50% -200% of VIII and IX factors in the blood at the same time, on average, this figure is 100% in a healthy person .
Heavy form of hemophilia: In this case, the level of factors VIII and IX is less than 1%. Hemorrhages in joints, muscles and other fabrics occur even in the absence of visible injuries (spontaneous bleeding), as well as after operations and dental removal.
Gemophilia of medium severity: the level of factors VIII and IX is 1-5%. Bleedings arise with insignificant, to a certain extent, injuries, as well as after operations and dental removal.
