This type of therapy infuses the missing clotting factor directly into the bloodstream to help blood clot properly.
Clotting Factor Replacement Therapy
To relieve pain and control bleeding, apply these two things to affected joints while keeping them elevated.
Elastic bandages and cold compresses
This standard lab workup includes a complete blood count (CBC), coagulation studies, and a factor VIII assay.
Laboratory Studies
A toddler with hemophilia might develop large swollen lumps on the head after minor bumps. These are often called what
Goose eggs

Non-Factor Therapy
When stable, patients should perform these types of exercises to help maintain mobility.

Hematoma
Preventive treatment approach involves regular clotting factor infusions to reduce the risk of spontaneous bleeding.
Prophylactic Care
To prevent injuries in infants, caregivers should use these on beds and avoid taking this type of temperature.
Padded bed rails and rectal temperatures
This test is useful for evaluating cartilage, synovium, and joint spaces, helping to detect joint damage in hemophilia patients.
