No. There are several types of bleeding disorders. Hemophilia is a deficiency in clotting factor proteins VIII (Hemophilia A), IX (Hemophilia B), or XI (Hemophilia C). There are several other clotting factor proteins linked to coagulation, as well as the vonWillebrands protein, and platelet disorders. Hemophilia is simply the most widely recognized (by the general public) bleeding disorder. It is important to know that many other bleeding disorders exist, such as the platelet deficiency you are asking about.

Blood is circulating throughout the entire body every minute of the day. Blood is composed of three components: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

A white blood cell is part of the immune system that will attack foreign particles. Lastly, the platelets are responsible for clotting. When someone has hemophilia the platelets in the blood do not react the way they should and will cause slow or no clotting of the damaged area.
