Urinary tract bleeding can occur in people with factor VIII deficiency (hemophilia A) due to the inability to form proper clots. This can lead to complications like blood clots in the bladder, causing urinary retention and the need for a catheter. It's crucial to work closely with your doctor to manage bleeding episodes. Prophylactic treatment with clotting factor replacement may help reduce such risks. Always inform your care team about recurring issues for tailored solutions.
