HAEMOPHILE Meaning and Definition

1. A haemophile is a person who suffers from a specific medical condition called Hemophilia. Hemophilia is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot. Individuals who have this rare disorder, known as haemophiles, experience prolonged bleeding and difficulty in controlling or stopping bleeding after an injury or surgical procedure.

   Haemophilia occurs due to a deficiency in one of the blood clotting factors, primarily factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). These clotting factors are responsible for initiating the process of coagulation, which forms clots to prevent excessive bleeding. However, in haemophiles, the lack or malfunctioning of these clotting factors hinders the clotting process, resulting in prolonged or spontaneous bleeding, even from minor cuts or internal injuries.

   As a result of this condition, haemophiles are prone to various complications, such as joint and muscle bleeding, internal bleeding, and excessive menstrual bleeding. They require constant medical care, including regular injections of clotting factors or other prescribed medications to manage and prevent bleeding episodes.

   The term "haemophile" is specifically used to describe individuals who are affected by hemophilia, emphasizing their unique medical condition. These individuals often need to develop a keen awareness of their physical activities and take additional precautions to avoid situations that can potentially lead to bleeding or injury.
