What problems does a menstruating hemophiliac face?
Asked by KatawaGrey (21483)

When a hemophiliac bleeds, it’s dangerous because their blood doesn’t clot. What about when a female hemophiliac menstruates? I know that menstruation blood is not the same as blood from a wound but it is still blood. Do female hemophiliacs experience complications from this? Do they have unusually long periods? Do they have periods at all?
On a related note, what complications arise from a female hemophiliac in childbirth? I would imagine it would be more dangerous than a non-hemophiliac giving birth because there can be tearing and bleeding.
Can the collective enlighten me?
