Outlook
The prognosis for patients varies depending on the type of EDS. Many types of EDS, including classic and hypermobile EDS, may not significantly shorten a person’s lifespan. The danger of premature mortality is not increased by these disorders, but they may have an impact on daily activities.
However, there is a shorter life expectancy associated with vascular and kyphoscoliosis EDS. The median life expectancy of persons with vascular EDS is 48 years because to its effects on the cardiovascular system.
You should see your doctor as soon as possible if you think you could have EDS based on your current symptoms. A few tests or the exclusion of other disorders that are comparable will be used to diagnose you. Together with you, your doctor will create a treatment strategy.
