Patients suffering from Hemophilia, a genetic disease that lasts throughout one’s lifetime and has no long-term cure can still expect a quality of life. A Chula medical specialist recommends preventive replacement factor treatment that uses an application to record abnormal bleeding along with regular communication with one’s physician.
Bleeding when one is wounded is a common occurrence for everyone. Yet there are cases where a person experiences bleeding without having had any cuts or wounds. There can also be instances of bleeding without any wounds or only a slight injury and the bleeding shows no sign of stopping especially in the joints or muscles. These symptoms shouldn’t be ignored since they might mean that a person has Hemophilia. bangkok university
Dr. Chatphatai Moonla, General Medicine Instructor, General Practitioner in Hematologic Diseases, Division of General Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital explains that “Hemophilia is a genetic disease that is found only in males. Out of a population of ten to twenty thousand, one hemophiliac might be found. This disease is caused by a genetic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to make blood clot. Patients usually display abnormal bleeding patterns from the time of their birth while in some cases they are found in their childhood or adolescence if they experience joint bleeds or easy bruising during the motor development process.”
At present, around 1,800 people suffer from Hemophilia but it is hoped that more patients can be diagnosed, especially those displaying only mild symptoms. This would require more awareness among the public and medical professionals in all areas to realize the importance of detecting this disease.
