What is Hemophilia and the symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
Bleeding from the nose or what is often called a nosebleed is experienced by almost everyone, from children to the elderly. This condition will be worrying if the blood coming out of the nose is difficult to stop and lasts a long time, because it could be an indication of hemophilia.\n \n\n What is Hemophilia? \n\n Hemophilia is a disorder that occurs in the human circulatory system. Where, the blood in the body cannot clot or clot properly. This happens because the blood lacks a protein that forms clotting factors, so it is difficult for blood to clot. This blood disorder is associated with mutations on the X chromosome, and is usually more common in males. But do not rule out it can also happen to women. \n\n Hemophilia is a genetic disease. That is, someone who suffers from hemophilia has the possibility of passing this blood disorder on to their children. Even though this condition cannot be cured, sufferers can live a normal life by preventing injuries and carrying out routine controls to the doctor. \n\n Symptoms of Hemophilia \n\n The main symptom of hemophilia is blood that is difficult to clot, causing bleeding to be difficult to stop or last longer.\nHowever, there are other symptoms of hemophilia that sufferers may experience. Some of the symptoms of hemophilia are as follows \n\n \n Tends to bruise easily on the surface of the skin. \n When you get a scratch or nosebleed, it's hard to stop bleeding. \n Often experience bloody bowel movements. \n Bleeding in the joints characterized by pain and swelling in the elbow and knee joints \n Easy to feel tingling. \n Often experience bleeding in the mouth and gums. \n Blood in urine and feces \n \n\n Symptoms of Hemophilia can also be seen based on the severity of bleeding experienced by hemophiliacs, where this condition depends on the amount of clotting factors in the blood. If the number of blood clotting factors is getting less, the bleeding will be more difficult to stop. \n\n 1. Mild Symptoms\nIn mild hemophilia, the amount of clotting factors in the blood ranges from 5–50%. These hemophiliacs may not show any symptoms. However, sufferers can experience bleeding that is difficult to stop if the wound is severe enough or has just undergone a medical procedure, such as surgery and tooth extraction.\n \n\n 2. Moderate Symptoms \n\n Under these conditions, the amount of clotting factors ranges from 1–5%. In this condition, bleeding from even a small wound will be difficult to stop. Sufferers also tend to bruise more easily.\n \n\n 3. Severe Symptoms \n\n Severe symptoms are conditions where the amount of clotting factors is less than 1%. This condition makes sufferers often experience spontaneous bleeding for no apparent reason, such as bleeding gums, nosebleeds, and bleeding or swelling in joints or muscles. \n\n So, hemophilia is a fairly serious medical condition and requires medical attention from a doctor. If you experience conditions or symptoms that lead to indications of hemophilia, immediately consult a doctor so that you can be examined and get the right treatment. \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Bad Effects of Cholesterol on Body Health<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n Cholesterol is a fat found in the bloodstream or in body cells, which is actually needed for the formation of cell walls and as a raw material for several hormones. Total cholesterol examination consists of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), and Triglycerides. \n\n LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) is often referred to as bad cholesterol because it can stick to blood vessels. HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) or often called good cholesterol is a fat that can dissolve LDL content in the body. \n\n High levels of cholesterol in the blood can cause several diseases, among others: \n\n 1. Heart attack \n\n Too high levels of cholesterol in the blood can cause the blood vessels to harden or narrow thus disrupting blood flow. If the blood flow to the heart is interrupted, it can causeheart disease. \n\n 2. Stroke \n\n If the narrowing occurs in the blood vessels of the brain, brain function will be disrupted. Disturbed brain function will have a negative impact on the ability to think, memory, and mental condition. Even worse, this condition can also lead tostroke. \n\n 3. Peripheral artery disease \n\n Peripheral artery disease is a disease caused by cholesterol blockage in the arteries of the legs or arms, causing several complaints, such as pain, cramps, to numbness. \n\n High cholesterol has no symptoms, therefore it is necessary to do a blood test to determine cholesterol levels in the blood.According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), blood cholesterol screening can be done between the ages of 9 and 11 years, and repeated every 5 years after the first screening. For men aged 45 to 65 years and women aged 55 to 65 years, the examination is carried out every 1-2 years. For those over 65 years of age, the examination is carried out every year. In patients with high cholesterol levels, or have comorbidities (other diseases such as urinary, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.), cholesterol checks can be carried out more often according to doctor's recommendations \n\n Several risk factors can cause high cholesterol levels (> 200 mg/dl), including: \n\n 1. Diet \n\n Consuming high-fat foods causes an increase in total cholesterol levels in the blood. Therefore, it is important to balance it with foods high in fiber which can help reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the blood \n\n 2. Lifestyle \n\n A bad lifestyle such as rarely moving or rarely exercising can increase the risk of high cholesterol \n\n 3. Smoking habits \n\n Cigarettes can reduce levels of good cholesterol / HDL and cause fat accumulation in the walls of the arteries of the heart. The increase in total cholesterol levels can be influenced by the duration and number of cigarettes consumed each day, the chemicals contained in cigarettes can increase LDL levels and reduce HDL levels. \n\n Lifestyle changes are important to prevent high cholesterol. Things that can be done such as: \n\n \n \n Eat high-fiber foods \n \n \n Limit consumption of animal fat \n \n \n Maintain an ideal weight \n \n \n Stop smoking \n \n \n Exercising \n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
