I have a blood disorder, and I am a girl but I am wondering could it be hemophilia??

It can happen to anybody - check with your doctor to find out if yours is hemophilia.  There are other blood disorders as well, such as sickle-cell anemia.  That's a disorder where the red bood cells change shape and can't carry oxygen as well as they should be able to.\n\nsoaplady99ca is incorrect in saying that it only effects men.  If the father of a child has the trait, and the mother of a child is a carrier, and the mother passes the chromosome with the trait, then a female can get it - X(defect)X(defect) would result in a female with the defect.

Try going to a support group in your area for these type issues. Being with people in situations similar to yours might help, b/c they can identify with you better than most. I can understand where you're coming from. I bet alot of us girls can.\nHope this helps...&& Good luck\nCarolyn

I have heard that light red blood isn't so bad, but that dark red could be a problem.  Either way I would talk to your doctor for sure, to be on the safe side.

Go to the Dr. You could have a chemical imbalance. Sress can cause that!

You need to contact your gyno, this can lead to anemia, and they may need to do other testing as well. This could also mean that your body is having hormonal changes. But above all you need to consult your gynocologyst it would be way safer.

This is due to a defective X chromosome. As a man has only one he is more likely to be colour blind. Females have two X chromosomes so are much less likely to have the condition. Hemophilia where the blood does not clot works the same way.

possibly leukemia?  I know it can cause extreme weakness and bruising/pain.  It doesn't sound normal and you should get there ASAP.  Stuff like leukemia has high remission rates.

Blood is everything!! You do not want children with problems, do you?\n\nFor your blood type, your best match is: \n\nType O\n\nA+ and B+ can cause hemogoblinia, which causes small stature in offspring and can cause clawlike hands to form\n\nA+ and A can cause 'Vampirism' which results in offspring that tends to stay out late, wear dark clothes, and engage in orgiastic bloodletting parties.\n\nO is the 'black' of blood. It goes with everything.

I think you're fine, dear.  A girl can get her menses anytime between the ages of eight and eighteen.\n\nBut you could check with your doctor, maybe s/he would like to run a couple of tests just in case.

I think it's more likely that the bleeding caused the anemia diagnosis than for the anemia to have caused the bleeding.  In fact, if you bled heavily and then were checked for anemia before your body had a chance to compensate, a new test for anemia (after your body recovers from the blood loss) might be negative.  Blood problems are nothing to mess with, so see a doctor and let him/her know that you had a problem with bleeding with your last tattoo and are interested in getting another one.

Anemic is sometimes catagorized as being iron defiency.  Meaning you need more iron in your body.  If this is a long drawn out thing I would go see a doctor.

Yes.\n\nBoth colour blindness and hemophilia are X-linked, and recessive. This means that if you are male, you will have the trait (because you only have 1 X chromosome), but if you are female, you have to have the disease on both your X chromosomes.\n\nThe 'normal healthy woman' had to get a hemophilia-X from her father (since he only has 1 X) - call it X(h) - and he was *not* colourblind so the X(h) doesn't carry the colourblindness mutation.\n\nShe also *had* to get a colour-blind-X from her mother, since her mother has to have 2 copies in order to *be* colourblind - call it X(b). So, she is X(h) X(b).\n\nShe marries a colourblind but not hemophiliac man: he must be X(b)Y. No other option.\n\nThere are thus four different possible outcomes for their children:\n\nX(b) X(h) mates with X(b)Y:\n\nX(b) X(b) - colour blind daughter\nX(b) Y - colour blind son\nX(h) X(b) - normal daughter (but carries both recessive traits)\nX(h) Y - hemophiliac son\n\nHope that was clear enough! :)

Defiantly sounds like BIG time depression!\nSee a doctor gets some med.'s\nOR could be some lack of something: iron...\nI'd really go see a doctor!

don't worry about it if you are not sexually active.  i  had lots of strange periods before i was sexually active.  not to worry at all.  normal for a girl.  \n\nit's natural.. if you don't take medication, and aren't sexually active, you body will take it's natural course, and if this is what it does, than so be it. now on the other hand, if you see a spewing bunch of bright red blood gushing out of you, go to the ER.

Do yourself a favor and go directly to the doctor.  It sounds like you have poor circulation...and you want to make sure you don't have a blood clot.  Those are VERY serious...I almost died from one.  If you do have a blood clot, check for diabetes and for Factor 5 Leiden, which is what I have.  It's genetic.

Since only one of you carries the Thalassemia gene, your child has a 25% chance of getting thalassemia minor, regardless of its sex. It's usually unnoticed at birth, but becomes apparent in the first year of life (child becomes anemic).\n\nThe hemophilia gene is carried on the X chromosome. For a father who has hemophilia, all sons will be unaffected and all daughters will have the condition (since the daughters will inherit the father's X chromosome for sure).
