Ce este hipermobilitatea, boala puțin cunoscută ce rămâne de multe ori nediagnosticată

A study from the University of Edinburgh reveals that hypermobility disorders are often undiagnosed, primarily affecting women, with patients waiting up to 21.7 years for a diagnosis. These conditions, linked to connective tissue issues, can cause joint hypermobility, fatigue, and pain. The lack of specific clinical guidelines complicates diagnosis, and many patients report insufficient support from healthcare providers. Stress factors, such as puberty or menopause, may exacerbate symptoms, and while treatment options exist, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
