Does Raynaud S Syndrome Cause Infertility?
My grand daughter is five months old. Occasionally her hands will turn white and sometimes her toes. On occasion her hands have turned purplish or mottled. There is no blueness around her lips and no discoloration anywhere else. I have Reynaud s Syndrome - is it possible for babies to have this? What do you think this could be?

Hello,
Raynaud's syndrome is a condition that causes spasms in the blood vessels of the extremities, such as the fingers and toes. While Raynaud's syndrome is not directly linked to infertility, it can cause complications during pregnancy, such as restricted blood flow to the uterus, which can affect fetal development.
As for your grand daughter, Raynaud's syndrome is rare in infants, but it is possible for infants to develop the condition. However, other conditions can also cause similar symptoms, such as poor circulation or a blood clotting disorder. It's important to consult a cardiovascular pediatrician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
