What Is EDS Disease?
3. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Vascular Type)
Another variety of EDS disease is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type. It also affects our connective tissues but instead of affecting the skin and joints, it affects our internal organs and blood vessels instead. It is the most serious form of EDS disease and is also, thankfully, the rarest.
The condition means it is far easier than usual for the patient’s internal organs and blood vessels to split open. This can be life-threatening as the patient stands to lose a lot of blood if the bleeding cannot be stopped in time. Patients with the condition will need to be very cautious to prevent any injury to themselves.
