Hemophilia B | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

Problems usually start in early childhood. Severe cases will cause:

  • bleeding problems
  • bruising without injury
  • nosebleeds
  • joint bleeding leading to arthritis and deformities
  • internal and bowel bleeding
  • blood in the urine
  • In someone with mild hemophilia, excessive bleeding may occur only with injury or surgery.
