Women are less likely to suffer from this disease. Women mostly play the role of carriers of genetic units responsible for this disease. Hemophilia is of two types, hemophilia A and hemophilia b. People with hemophilia A and B often have bleeding for a long time compared to other people.

Actually, Hemophilia A and B happen due to X chromosomes. We all know that women have two X chromosomes but men have two different types of X and Y chromosomes. X chromosome in men comes from and Y chromosome comes from their father. These chromosomes determine the gender of the child. Chromosomes contain hemophilia genes. Women are carriers of this disease. That is, the son meets X chromosomes and if X chromosomes are infected with hemophiliac, then the son will become a victim of hemophilia. But daughter meets X chromosome from her mother. And if the mother is suffering from Hemophilia but the X chromosome coming from the father is not infected with hemophiliac, then the daughter will not have this disease. Hemophilia is not mostly in children through their father.

The blood flowing out from the body in this disease does not accumulate. This proves to be fatal in injury or accident because the flow of blood does not stop soon. According to experts, the cause of this disease is a lack of blood protein, which is called 'clotting factor'. The characteristic of this factor is that it prevents the flow of blood by accumulating blood flowing. This disease is caused by a lack of a substance called thromboplastin in the blood. Thromboplastic has the ability to accelerate the blood quickly. The absence of Thromboplastic does not stop the flow of blood.

Know more about the ways to prevent this disease:

1. Avoid taking aspirin or non-steroid medication as far as possible.

2. Take hepatitis B vaccination.

3. Take care of the people suffering from Factor 8 and 9, wherever they go, arrange for measures to avoid losses due to bleeding or joint damage. It is better that the doctor's number is always with you.

4. Persons suffering from hemophilia always carry information related to the disease and keep updated on time.
