Introduction. International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political.
Raynaud's attacks usually affect the fingers and toes. Rarely, the attacks affect the nose, ears, nipples, or lips. During a Raynaud's attack, the arteries become very narrow for a brief period. As a result, little or no blood flows to affected body parts.
Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition in which spasms of small blood vessels of the hands (and sometimes the feet) cause blood flow to those areas to be diminished. The affected areas, most often the tips of the fingers, will then feel cool, numb, tingly and may turn a pale white or bluish color.
