Managing Bleeds

Examples:

minor

moderate

severe

Learning about and managing bleeds is an important part of living with hemophilia. To assist you in preparing for and responding to bleeds, this section offers a framework for evaluating bleeds based on four key issues:

  • The severity of hemophilia
  • The location of the bleed
  • The severity of the bleeding
  • Whether the bleeding is internal or external.

If you are uncertain about the severity of a bleed or about the appropriate treatment, always contact your healthcare provider or treatment center. Click here to find the treatment center nearest you.
