Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the body's connective tissues, which provide strength and flexibility to the skin, joints, blood vessels, and other organs. It is characterized by excessive joint flexibility, skin that is easily stretched and bruised, and fragile blood vessels and organs. Individuals with EDS may also experience chronic pain, fatigue, and digestive issues. There are several types of EDS, each with its own set of symptoms and seriousness. Treatment for EDS focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications through physical therapy, pain management techniques, using supportive devices like braces or wraps, and in some cases, surgery.
