This is an inherited condition that usually and most likely affect men. This condition is interfering with the blood's ability to clot, when a person suffers from this disorder, their blood does not clot well and this is because of a deficiency in the blood protein that is responsible for helping blood clot.

This can both be internal and external and this is most likely to show up early in the patient's life and this is a serious life threatening case that needs the right medical attention.
