Gynecologic Management Of Pediatric And Adolescent Patients With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a connective tissue disorder resulting in abnormal collagen synthesis leading to skin, joint, ligament, blood vessel and organ abnormalities. Studies in adult women show an association with heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic organ prolapse. We aimed to evaluate gynecologic complaints in pediatric and adolescent patients with EDS and their management by Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG) Providers.
