"Hemophiliac" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A person with hemophilia is someone who has a bleeding disorder that makes it difficult for their blood to clot properly. This means that even a minor injury, such as a cut or bruise, can cause excessive bleeding, which can be painful and debilitating. Hemophilia is usually inherited and affects about 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 males, although it can also occur in females. There are two main types of hemophilia, hemophilia A and hemophilia B, which are caused by different genetic mutations. Treatments for hemophilia include infusion of clotting factor concentrates, which can help to control bleeding.
