Disease Details
Haemophilia

Haemophilia is a rare disorder in which your blood doesn't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors).

If you have haemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time after an injury than you would if your blood clotted normally.

Cancer

Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body's cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.

Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells.

Mumps

Mumps is a viral infection that primarily affects saliva-producing (salivary) glands that are located near your ears.

Mumps can cause swelling in one or both of these glands.
