Connective tissue disorders are a group of conditions that affect the tissues that support and connect different parts of the body. These tissues include collagen, ligaments, and tendons, which play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of organs and systems. When these tissues are damaged or not formed correctly, it can lead to various health issues, including joint pain, skin problems, and cardiovascular complications. Some common connective tissue disorders include Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions can vary in severity and may require different treatment approaches, such as medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes. Early diagnosis and management are essential to improve quality of life for those affected.
