Question 1

can somebody with hemophilia get a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: The tattoo machine places the ink and a fine needle into you dermis. There is disruption of the dermis and epidermis and bleeding occurs. The condition will allow for more bleeding than expected. I would avoid any unnecessary  trauma to your body

Question 2

could people with von willebrand disease or hemophilia get tattoos?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Like everything else involving body art, it's at your own risk. Your physician might be your best guide here. If you take a factor before other procedures, this would perhaps be a good time. Start with something small. I like well-chosen body art and if this is something you've really wanted for some time, i hope you're able to get it.

Question 3

what to do if i have hemophilia, and i want t tattoo of a square on my butt. can i do this?

Accepted Answer

Dont do it: Why risk the bleeding from puncturing the epidermis and dermis with repeated needle sticks.
THe potential for bleeding is there and this is an elective procedure that you may regret

Question 4

how do you get tests for hemophilia?

Accepted Answer

Blood test: If suspected any doctor can order a blood test for hemophilia.  There are two major types with deficiceny of different clotting factors, hemophilia a has deficincy of factor viii and hemophilia b of factor ix.  Most hospital labs can do the testing on blood sample to make the diagnosis.

Question 5

which one is more safe chemical synovectomy or radioactive synovectomy for patients suffering from hemophilia?

Accepted Answer

Radioactive one: Radiosynovectomy is currently the preferred procedure when radioactive
materials are available.
However, chemical synovectomy is an effective alternative method if radioactive materials are not available.

Question 6

how do you get hemophilia?

Accepted Answer

Heredity: Hemophilia is a genetic disease that is passed down in families.

Question 7

can you please tell me why it'sthat only males get hemophilia?

Accepted Answer

Need to explain: This is because females have two x chromosomes while males have only one, so the defective gene is guaranteed to manifest in any male who carries it. Because females have two x chromosomes and haemophilia is rare, the chance of a female having two defective copies of the gene is very remote, so females are almost exclusively asymptomatic carriers of the disorder.

Question 8

what kind of pills or treatment can somebody get for hemophilia?

Accepted Answer

Factor replacement: Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder where low clotting factor levels cause patients to bleed with trauma or spontaneously. Treatment includes injectable replacement of clotting factors and also blood transfusions, plasma, ddavp, (desmopressin) supportive therapy.

Question 9

why do more male children get hemophilia?

Accepted Answer

Gene expression: This abnormal gene is carried on the X (female) chromosome. In the female, most would have a normal gene on their 2nd X, which has the ability to make up for the other gene. A male carries only one X, and if it carries the hemophilia gene, it is fully expressed because there is no "cancelling" gene around to stop it.

Question 10

can offspring get hemophilia a if neither of the parents do not have it?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If the mother is a carrier of the bad gene, but does not have hemophilia and she has a son, there is a chance the son could get a good y chromosome and the defective x chromosome, giving that child hemophilia. If neither parent has a bad x chromosome, then the only way to get it would be from genetic mutation.
