Signs and Symptoms

Signs include prolonged or non-stop bleeding, painful swollen joints, easily or unexplained bruising, other internal bleeding, and hematoma. Bleeding in the joints may cause severe pain at the time of the bleed. If occurs frequently, such bleeding may cause permanent pain and difficulty in using the affected joint. Another very dangerous bleeding for hemophiliacs is bleeding in the brain. This may cause severe complications and even death if not discovered in time.
