Symptoms Of Hemophilia

Joint Pain And Swelling

Hemarthrosis causes tingling, swelling, redness, and stiffness in the joint. If you have hemophilia, you may have these symptoms. While the symptoms feel like arthritis, they also can be a prime sign of hemophilia. Hemophiliacs whose blood doesn’t clot may experience bleeding into the joints that cause joint pain and swelling one or two times per week. If your family's medical history includes a history of hemophilia, tell your doctor. They may perform a synovial fluid analysis to determine the cause of your joint discomfort. Your doctor will take a small sample of the fluid in your joints and have it tested. They may also conduct a blood test for the clotting factor in your system. After your health care provider determines whether you have hemophilia or not, they can start reducing your joint swelling and pain.
