Circumcision
Among the male Registry participants, 43% of those with hemophilia A and 46% of those with hemophilia B have undergone circumcision; among these, 41% of hemophilia A participants and 32% of hemophilia B participants experienced excessive bleeding. In addition, among those participants with hemophilia A and B who were circumcised, clotting factor was used during the circumcision procedure for 19% and 18%, respectively (Table 18).

History of hypertension was common among the older male participants with hemophilia A and B. Among male Registry participants 65 years of age and older, 50% of hemophilia A and 56% of hemophilia B participants had hypertension. Among male Registry participants ages 45–64 years, 38% of hemophilia A and 39% of hemophilia B participants had a history of hypertension, compared to approximately 9% and 10% for male participants with hemophilia A and B who were 20- 44 years old. History of bone fracture was also most common among hemophilia A and B participants who were ages 45 years and older. Anxiety and depression were more common among the male participants with hemophilia A and B who were ages 20 or older compared to those younger than 20, with the highest rates of both depression and anxiety seen among patients ages 45-64 years. Among male Registry participants with hemophilia A, iron deficiency anemia was most common among those ages 45 and older. There was less variation by age in iron deficiency anemia among hemophilia B participants. (Figures 31 and 32).
