<p><span>Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder, where essential clotting factors required for blood to clot normally are lacking. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>These clotting factors are proteins that work with platelets (specific small blood cells) to allow the blood to clot. They help the platelets to stick together to plug cuts and breaks. As the blood does not clot normally, bleeding episodes will not only last for longer, bruising occurs after minor knocks and bumps, in addition to this, it is not uncommon for spontaneous bleeding to arise with know obvious cause. </span></p>
