Hemophilia Prevention

Prevention

People who have hemophilia should avoid situations that might cause bleeding. They should be careful about dental care so they won't need to have teeth extracted. People who have hemophilia should also avoid certain drugs that can aggravate bleeding problems:

• Aspirin
• Heparin
• Warfarin
• Certain analgesics, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (eg, Tylenol and Ibuprofen )

Genetic counselors can make a detailed family history. They will discuss risks and available testing options.
