A hemorrhagic disease is really a group of diseases.\u00a0Hemorrhage means that you start bleeding more easily and that you can bleed longer than a person who does not have a hemorrhagic disease.\u00a0This is because the blood lacks one or more substances needed for it to live.\u00a0Hemorrhagic disease is usually a hereditary disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The symptoms of hemophilia<\/strong> can differ between the different types of bleeding disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, you may have nosebleeds, bleeding gums, heavy periods and bruising on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also have leg and arm pain and joint pain if it bleeds into the joints and muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seek treatment for hemophilia<\/em> at a\u00a0health care center\u00a0if you suspect you have a bleeding disorder.\u00a0You can contact many receptions by\u00a0logging in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are syringes with medicines that contain the substances that are missing in the blood.\u00a0You can take the syringes at home yourself.\u00a0You can also get the drug as a nasal spray if you have a mild form of hemorrhagic disease.\u00a0You can also take medicines if needed, for example, if you are going to pull out a tooth or have surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, small children can receive medication\u00a0through a box that is operated under the skin.\u00a0It is good if you as an adult talk to the doctor about how you can protect your child from harm.\u00a0This could be, for example, by allowing the child to wear a helmet or to have knee protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hemorrhagic disease is a collective name for some unusual diseases, which means that you start bleeding more easily for example injuries and then bleed longer than a healthy person.\u00a0This is because the blood lacks one or more substances needed for it to live.\u00a0The severity of the disease depends on how much blood can be delivered.\u00a0Hemophilia<\/strong> is congenital and hereditary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many types of bleeding disorders. The most common form is von Willebrand’s disease, which is found in three different types, mild – type 1, moderate – type 2 and severe – type 3. Von Willebrand’s disease is found in both women and men and is most common in a mild form. The disease is hereditary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other forms of hemophilia are hemophilia<\/em> A and B, which are also found in varying degrees of difficulty.\u00a0The various levels of difficulty are mild, medium or severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The gender the child gets depends on the body’s appearance and set of sex chromosomes.\u00a0The sex chromosomes are X and Y. A child who has two X chromosomes is assigned to the gender woman.\u00a0A child who has an X chromosome and a Y chromosome are assigned the gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trait for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. Men get hemophilia if the X chromosome has a predisposition to the disease. For hemophilia to occur in women, both X chromosomes must have a predisposition to hemophilia. It’s unusual. It is more common for men to have the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Women who have genetic relatives with hemophilia can go through an investigation to find out if they carry the strain.\u00a0If you want to do an investigation, contact one of the hemophilia centers in Malm\u00f6, Gothenburg or Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Women who have only one X chromosome with the tendon may have hemorrhagic disease but usually in a mild form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Often a blood test is taken on newborn boys in families with hemophilia<\/span>.\u00a0In cases where the disease is not in the family since before, severe bleeding illness is usually detected when the child is about nine months.\u00a0When the child becomes more mobile and falls and strikes, children with the hemorrhagic disease receive more bruises than children who do not have hemophilia.\u00a0In addition, children with the hemorrhagic disease can have joints and muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the mild or moderate form of the hemorrhagic disease, it is sometimes not detected until later in life.\u00a0Then the disease can be detected by bleeding long after, for example, an operation or by pulling out a tooth.\u00a0The disease can also be detected if you bleed long after a wound on a mucous membrane in the nose or mouth, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The diagnosis is made by means of a blood sample that is sent to a coagulation laboratory.\u00a0In some cases, you may also be allowed to do a DNA test.\u00a0This is done at one of the three coagulation centers in Gothenburg, Malm\u00f6 or Stockholm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is good if you take care of your teeth extra carefully if you have the hemorrhagic disease.\u00a0It can reduce the risk of bleeding in the gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people with hemorrhagic bleeding in joints and muscles. It can reduce mobility and make you feel stiff. Exercise and physiotherapy can help with the rigidity and do so that you can maintain your mobility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people with hemophilia can live as usual because there are drugs that reduce or prevent bleeding.\u00a0What you need to keep in mind is that you need to be extra careful not to hurt yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen and where should I seek care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
