Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) What You Need to Know

Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. These genetic conditions result from defects in collagen or other components of the extracellular matrix, leading to a wide range of symptoms and complications. The variability in EDS presentations can make diagnosis and management challenging, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach that includes medical, nutritional, and psychological care.
