Why would it be wise for a women with hemophilia to keep her son from being circumcised?

If there is any chance at all that a baby may have trouble developing clotting of the blood then doing an operation on them for no other reason then cultural or religious self satisfaction can only be seen as a malpractice.Hemophiliacs lack the ability for their blood to clot.
Circumcision is an unwise move in any case as there is no medical reason for the remoal of the prepuce . on the contrary it is in fact harmful on several levels.

Why are men most likely to have hemophilia?
Since Hemophilia A is an "X Chromosome" disease and women have two "X" Chromosomes, women with only one "X" Chromosome with the disorder would be carriers of the disease but not affected by it. Women with both "X" Chromosomes with the disorder would be very rare.
What do you get when you cross a male hemophiliac with a female hemophiliac?
The gene for hemophilia A is found on the X chromosome (it is a sex-linked recessive disorder). Women have two X chromosomes and men have one X chromosome. A woman with hemophilia (very rare) would have the mutated gene on both of her X chromosomes. This means that all of their children, both male and female would have hemophilia.
Why are women carriers for the disease hemophilia?
Women can, in fact, suffer from haemophilia, but it is more rare in women, as it is a recessive, sex-linked X chromosome disorder, so in order to manifest the disease, a woman would need two copies of the defective gene, while men need only one. Thus it is guaranteed to manifest in a man who carries the gene, but not in a woman unless she receives the gene from both parents.
What are a woman chance of being a carrier for hemophilia if she phenotypically a normal woman and has phenotypically normal parents but has a hemophiliac brother?
She has 1/2 chance. We can figure out exactly what her parents' genotypes were. Her brother has a Hemophilia allele that he got from his mom. So their mom has at least 1 Hemophilia allele. If she had 2 then she would have Hemophilia. The father cannot have a Hemophilia allele because it would have been expressed. So her chances are 1/2 because her mother has 1 Hemophiliac and 1 normal allele.
What is mixing test in Hemophilia?
To my knowledge, mixing tests are used with some types of acquired hemophilia to determine the source of the hemophilia. In the test, I believe they mix two separate samples of plasma together. One sample being from the affected individual who has acquired hemophilia, one from a normal source without the acquired hemophilia. If the ability of the blood to coagulate is decreased, this would indicate that the source of the acquired hemophilia was in the blood itself (some anticoagulant). If the blood, once mixed retained normal clotting, this would indicate a problem with the actual production of the needed clot forming components.
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what are the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
Since the gene for Hemophilia is carried on the X chromosome and males pass only their Y chromosome onto their sons, no their sons should not have hemophilia. Of course all daughters of a male with hemophilia will be carriers of the mutation since they with receive his X chromosome, not the Y.
Hemophilia results from an allele then is?
Recessive?? (i.e., you would need to inherit one from each parent to have hemophilia)
Do women like uncircumcised penis better?
Some women may prefer circumcised, and some women may prefer uncircumcised. However, most women like both kinds of penises just fine and would be very happy with either one. The vast majority of the world's men are uncircumcised, so most women will never encounter a circumcised penis. Even in countries where circumcision is practiced such as Israel and the United States, women generally enjoy both kinds of penises. The foreskin makes it easier to stroke the penis during foreplay and makes it easier to give oral sex. Women who are only used to circumcised or uncircumcised penises may take a little while to get used to the different equipment, but once most women get used to it, they love any penis, circumcised or not.
How many woman have hemophilia in the US?
The actual number of women diagnosed with hemophilia is very hard to pin down. Doctors do not even agree on what designates a female as having hemophilia. Some believe that both X chromosomes would need to have the mutation, while others diagnose using the clotting factor levels. Due to the occurrence of what some doctors call incomplete dominance by the non-affected X chromosome the mutation can lower a "carrier's" clotting factor below what would qualify any male as having hemophilia.
Are there more colorblind females or hemophiliac females?
Color blindness is a much milder handicap than Hemophilia-a which can cause uncontrolled bleeding and death or injury from relatively minor accidents, N"cest Pas?Hemophilia is rare but not unknown in women. it is possible at least one of the Romanov girls had it, as did Prince Alexis. This would have had amplified the tragic events of Ekaterinburg, as any bloodletting, certainly that from automatic pistols which the NKVD men used , woiuold have disastrous effects.
Where would you get your penis circumcised?
A urologist.
A woman with hemophilia and a man without hemophilia are expecting a baby boy what are the chances that their son will also have hemophilia?
If the female has what is classically defined as female hemophilia (carries the mutation on both of her X chromosomes), then all sons she would have would also have hemophilia. All of the woman's daughters would also inherit the gene, however since they would also be getting a normal X chromosome from their father, they would not, themselves, have hemophilia under the classical definition. Today, it is understood that even carrying the trait on a single X chromosome can reduce a female's factor levels and give cause for doctors to diagnose her with hemophilia. Thus if you are simply looking at genetics (which you probably are) then the answer is all of her sons would have it and all of her daughters would be carriers. Therefore, since there is a 50-50 chance the first child bore would be a male, and a 50-50 chance it would be a female, the chance that their first child born would have hemophilia is 50%.
