When to seek medical advice

By Mayo Clinic staff

If you or your child has signs or symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, make an appointment to talk with your doctor.

If you're concerned about a family history of EDS, you may wish to consult your doctor or a genetic counselor for help in assessing your risk or in planning a family.
