A member asked:

I have eds. i think my son may have it. he has severe stomach pain and bruising could these be signs of ehlers danlos?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, see below: Easy bruising without trauma can be 1. Blood vessel/tissue problem (connective tissue disease such as eds) or vit c deficiency, 2. Platelet problem (drugs, systemic illness/infection, von willebrand's), 3. Coagulation problem (liver disease, clotting factor deficiency, vit k deficiency). Yes, take him to pediatrician. Some problems are treatable but most important, you want to know why. Good luck.
