Abstract:
[Objective]We report on a hemophilia A patient who was treated at the department of internal medicine of our hospital receiving acupuncture treatment at an acupuncture treatment clinic. It began with iliopsoas muscle hematoma, and remarkably hindered daily life with severe pain.
[Case]The case was a male hemophilia A patient in his twenties. He continuously took clotting factor replacement therapy by self-injection. He received acupuncture treatment in the lower back, and increasingly came to have more pain in the lower back and extremities. He was admitted to our hospital with a fusiform blood tumor in the iliopsoas muscle with MRI.
[Conclusion]In a congenital bleeding disease, it is necessary to check the condition and the severity of symptoms by collecting information through medical examination by interview, visual examination, examination by touch, and manual muscle testing for acupuncture treatment.
