Etiopathogenesis
The disease is more common in women in the winter months, its cause is unknown. It is assumed that this is a genetically determined hypersensitivity to hormonal and neurovegetative influences. It typically takes place in three stages:
- Vasoconstriction: in the cold, the small arteries in the hands (legs) constrict, which results in ischemia , the fingers turn white, are numb and may hurt.
- Vasodilation (passive hyperemia): arterial vasoconstriction is followed by vein dilation with blood stasis ; cyanosis occurs ; fingers are blue.
- Hyperemia (active hyperemia): after several tens of minutes, the spasm subsides, reactive hyperemia occurs; fingers turn red, painful paresthesias often appear.
Small necroses may develop over time .
Diagnostics
The diagnosis is established on the basis of anamnesis, physical examination , clinical picture and after excluding the secondary form of Raynaud's syndrome , for which capillaroscopy can be used .
Therapy
- Non-pharmacological: STOP smoking, dress warmly, eliminate stress, avoid sudden changes in temperature.
- Pharmacological: calcium channel blockers(nifedipine), prostaglandins.
