Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factors, most commonly factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). Symptoms include prolonged bleeding from minor cuts or injuries, heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding into joints or muscles. Dental procedures like extractions require careful management to prevent life-threatening bleeding. Treatment focuses on replacing the deficient clotting factor through infusions or injections. Hemophilia occurs almost exclusively in males and ranges from severe to mild depending on the degree of clotting factor deficiency.
