Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders that affect the body's connective tissues, which provide support to skin, bones, blood vessels, and other organs. People with EDS often experience symptoms such as hyper-flexible joints, skin that bruises easily, and a tendency to develop scars that heal poorly.
There are several types of EDS, each with its own set of symptoms and genetic causes. The condition can lead to various complications, including joint dislocations and cardiovascular issues. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving the quality of life for those affected by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
