3. Unexplained bleeding.
Another sign that is commonly associated with hemophilia is unexplained bleeding. Normally, when someone begins bleeding, they know where the site of the injury is and it can be explained; they fell and scraped their leg, cut themselves shaving, sliced themselves with a knife, etc.
However, patients who are affected by hemophilia often report that they experience unexplained bleeding; in other words, they notice the appearance of blood, but they don’t know what caused the injury that leads to the blood loss.
If you are having episodes of bleeding, and you are unable to explain what caused the bleeding, you should schedule an appointment with your health care provider as soon as possible. Something as minor as scratching the surface of the skin with a zipper or a button can cause excessive bleeding in patients who are afflicted with hemophilia, and prompt treatment is absolutely vital.
