Your blood.

A hemophiliac is a person who is a "free bleeder", meaning if they get even a minor cut, they will bleed profusely. If they get just a little more than a small cut, they can actually bleed to death because their blood does not clot the way it should.

Why aspirin is contraindicated with people with hemophilia?

Aspirin is contraindicated in individuals with hemophilia because it inhibits platelet function, which is crucial for blood clotting. Hemophilia already impairs the body's ability to form clots due to deficiencies in clotting factors, increasing the risk of excessive bleeding. Taking aspirin can exacerbate this condition, leading to potentially life-threatening hemorrhages. Therefore, alternative pain relief options that do not affect platelet function are typically recommended for those with hemophilia.
