Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the connective tissues in the body, which provide support to the skin, ligaments, and blood vessels. People with EDS may experience symptoms like unusually flexible joints, fragile skin that bruises easily, and other complications. The condition varies in severity and type, affecting how each person experiences it. EDS can lead to joint pain and dislocations, and sometimes cardiovascular issues. While there is no cure, management focuses on pain relief, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to help improve quality of life.
