All surgeries involve risks. Having hemophilia A or B with inhibitors means you have additional risks, and these need to be discussed with your hematologist and surgeon before deciding on surgery.
SIGNS YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR DOCTOR
Watch for signs of infection, bleeding, or blood clots, and call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or drainage around the surgical wound (or staining through your cast if you have one)
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Severe nausea or vomiting
- Tingling or numbness in your fingers or toes
- Increasing pain or swelling
