Özet
Primary Raynaud’s phenomenon may be insistent in patients under medical therapy, and intrauterine devices may be an unnoticed reason in these patients. Fluctuations in female sex hormone status were reported to be associated with the emergence of primary Raynaud’s phenomenon symptoms. The use of intrauterine devices was not reported to be associated with Raynaud’s phenomenon previously. Intrauterine device may stimulate vascular hyperactivity regarding hormonal or unknown mechanisms that result in Raynaud’s phenomenon. We present a postmenopausal patient who complained of primary Raynaud’s phenomenon symptoms and had recovery after the removal of her copper intrauterine device. © The Author(s) 2014 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav
