6.In addition to certain connective tissue disorders
Connective tissue disorders include conditions such as Marfan Syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, and they are being diagnosed at an increasing rate as more doctors become informed about new research into how to diagnose it – and as more people visit their doctors upon experiencing the first symptoms of a connective tissue disorder to determine if they or a family member may have one of the spectrum of conditions that comprise connective tissue disorders.
Occasionally, these conditions increase your risk of developing other illnesses: Any portion of the body comprised of connective tissue will be inherently weaker than the corresponding part of a healthy individual. This increases the risk of internal rupture, even in the absence of physical trauma.
It can increase your risk of developing appendicitis and your likelihood of being more severely affected by an appendicitis infection. Consult your physician immediately.
