What Conditions Are Associated with Connective Tissue Disorders in Gynecology?
Several gynecological conditions are linked to connective tissue disorders. These include:
Pelvic organ prolapse: A condition where weakened connective tissues cause the pelvic organs to drop from their normal position.
Endometriosis: While primarily a condition of endometrial tissue growth outside the uterus, it can affect the connective tissues surrounding pelvic organs, leading to scarring and adhesions.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: A group of disorders that affect connective tissues, potentially leading to increased risk of uterine prolapse or other gynecological complications.
