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.
Definition. Raynaud's (ray-NOHZ) disease causes some areas of your body â such as your fingers and toes â to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. In Raynaud's disease, smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas (vasospasm).
