Symptoms and Treatment of Bleeding Episodes
Bruises
Babies with hemophilia usually have no difficulty during the birth process, however circumcision may produce prolonged bleeding.
During the first few months of life, a baby with hemophilia has few problems because his ability to move around is limited. As he learns to walk he will fall and sustain many small, superficial bumps and bruises. Bleeding into soft tissue area of the arms and legs is frequent and usually not serious. Superficial bruises are seen easily and are often raised, but usually do not require treatment. (These lumps may feel warmer than surrounding tissue. Observe the area carefully to determine if a hard lump develops underneath.)
