Hemophilia
Hemophilia is an inherited blood disorder. In hemophilia, a blood clotting factor is missing. In Hemophilia A, Factor VIII (8) is missing. In Hemophilia B, Factor IX (9) is missing. Without these factors, blood will not clot well. People with hemophilia are born with the disorder. It is not contagious.
Menstrual Period
Menstrual periods are when the lining of the uterus flakes off (sheds) and blood/menstrual fluid passes through the vagina. Periods start about 2 years after puberty starts. The average age is 12. However, it can start as early as 9 or as late as 14.
Von Willebrand Disease
Von Willebrand Disease is caused by low amounts or structural abnormalities in a protein called Von Willebrand Factor. This results in prolonged clotting and easy bleeding and bruising.
