The following are symptomatic of haemophilia:
- Very easily bruised
- Prolonged nosebleeds
- Excessive bleeding from biting down on the lips or tongue
- Excessive bleeding following a tooth extraction
- Excessive bleeding following surgery
- Blood in the urine (called hematuria)
- Bleeding in the knee, elbows, and other joints (appears as joint swelling that feels warm to the touch and normally causes weakness and stiffening of the joint)
- Bleeding in the brain
- Cuts seem to bleed longer than normal
- Arthritic joints at young age
Bear in mind that Haemophilia is a basically a genetic disorder, you have to inherit it, you cannot catch it (although people with severe liver damage can present symptoms of haemophilia); as it is inherited, the chances are you would know that you are already predisposed to the mutation.
