What is the most common type of hemophilia?
The most common type is hemophilia A. Another type is hemophilia B. The result is the same for either hemophilia A or B: Bleeding time is longer than normal. The degree of severity of the disorder depends on the amount of clotting factor that is missing from a person’s blood. It also gives some idea about the type of bleeds a person is likely to have, as well as how often a bleed may occur. Early signs of hemophilia may be prolonged bleeding after circumcision, cord removal, heel stick, or multiple raised bruises.
