Hemophelia

Hemophelia is a blood disorder in which the blood does not clot normally. This means that when bleeding occurs, it continues to bleed for much longer than it should. In cases of minor cuts and abrasions, this isn't normally a problem because there isn't a lot of blood loss. However, when major bleeding occurs, internally or externally, it could be life threatening. Although hemophelia affects all races, it affects men more seriously than women. It's a genetic disease, and women only get severe cases of hemophelia if both the father and mother are hemopheliacs.
