Thalassaemia

Thalassaemia is an inherited blood disorder which is inherited from parents to their kids. In this condition, the ability of the body to produce haemoglobin and red blood cells is affected. There are several types of Thalassaemia ranging from mild to severe. The treatment of the condition depends on the severity of the condition. In other words, a person suffering from thalassaemia will have a less number of red blood cells and haemoglobin.

Hemophilia

Hemophilia is a "rare disorder" in which "blood doesn't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins." When blood can't clot properly, excessive bleeding (external and internal) occurs after any injury or damage. Managing hemophilia is to maintain your health at its best. The key factor is to keep your joints stronger and shed extra weight to lessen muscle strains and prevent bleeding of the weakening joints.

Sickle cell disease

Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Healthy red blood cells are round and they move through small blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. In someone who has sickle cell disease, the red blood cells become sickle shaped and sticky. The sickle cells die early, which causes a constant shortage of red blood cells. This can cause pain and other serious problems such as infection, acute chest syndrome and stroke.
