Hemophilia? Hemophilla is a common misspelling of hemophilia.
If a person has hemophilia, his or her blood does not clot properly. This genetic disorder can cause people to bleed for a longer period of time following an accident or injury and may also lead to internal bleeding. The disease almost always occurs in males. Since hemophilia is caused by a defect in one of the genes that determines how the body makes certain blood-clotting factors, treatment will involve replacing the missing clotting factors (known as replacement therapy).
