Sally asked about Raynards.
Hi Sally,
My books for specifics are at work, but I
understand this disease to affect circulation of extremities including fingers,
hands, toes and can affect nipples. I have seen this affecting
breastfeeding. The nipples looked white and after a while circulation
returned and they looked quite bright pink. I understand the circulation
to be affected by anxiety and cold and I have seen both these to shut down
circulation (temporarily) in nipples. I have seen anxiety associated with
pain of sore nipples cause this and lead to other problems including blocked
duct and engorgement. Warmth as in warm packs can help and I have read of
medication prescribed by medico-lactation consultants in some
instances.
Cheers, Leigh
