Can only guys get hemophilia??

Q: I have a blood disorder, and I am a girl but I am wondering could it be hemophilia??

A: It can happen to anybody – check with your doctor to find out if yours is hemophilia. There are other blood disorders as well, such as sickle-cell anemia. That’s a disorder where the red bood cells change shape and can’t carry oxygen as well as they should be able to.soaplady99ca is incorrect in saying that it only effects men. If the father of a child has the trait, and the mother of a child is a carrier, and the mother passes the chromosome with the trait, then a female can get it – X(defect)X(defect) would result in a female with the defect.

Do I have hemophilia?

Q: Is there some way a 14 year old girl could have a really mild form of hemophilia without even knowing it? Idk if this is normal, but when I bite my lip (bad habit) it bleeds and I don’t notice, then I look in the mirror and I have blood all over my lips. If I get cut or scratched by something dull, like a bread knife it doesn’t really bleed, but if its really sharp like a razor then even a tiny cut bleeds a LOT. And it will start again like a day later. Does that happen to everyone when they nick themselves shaving? I asked that yesterday on Y!A and someone said I might have mild hemophilia without even knowing it. They said to see a doctor and I CAN”T at the moment, so I’m feeling kinda paranoid about the whole thing. What do you all think?

A: Woman can get hemophilia however this is VERY RARE. For a woman to get hemophilia her mother would need to be carrier and her father would need to be a hemophiliac. To show how rare this would need to be the hematologist I see has been treating people with bleeding disorders for almost 25 years and he once told me that in that time he has treated a total of 3.A more common bleeding disorder for women would be something such as von Willebrand disease (VWD). In short it would be the same as a male having mild hemophilia. A blood clotting test would be the first thing that will be tested to see if you have any type of bleeding disorder.There are different levels to almost all bleeding disorders. Some are noticed right away. Others like mine for instance are not noticed until later on in life. Just depends on how server the lack of the missing factor is.See link below and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions
