Are stretch marks harmful to the body?

Stretch marks are a condition that occurs after a woman becomes pregnant, especially after giving birth, and the marks will remain on the woman's body. This is a painful thing for women who love beauty, especially because many women feel that it affects their skin.

To solve this problem, we will introduce it through the following introduction.

Most women develop many light red or purple stripes on the skin of their upper thighs, abdomen, breasts, etc. during the 5th to 6th month of pregnancy. These are called "stretch marks". Due to endocrine changes during pregnancy, the elasticity (fibers) in the skin weakens and becomes more brittle, and the walls of subcutaneous capillaries and veins become thinner and dilated. After 5 months of pregnancy, the uterus grows larger and the breasts also grow due to the development of mammary tissue and the deposition of adipose tissue, causing the skin of the breasts, abdomen and upper thighs to stretch and thin, the elastic fibers to break, and the color of the subcutaneous blood vessels to show through, forming stretch marks.

Stretch marks are a physiological change that will cause mild pain and itching locally. No treatment is required, but you can choose appropriate products to repair stretch marks. People who normally go from thin to fat may also develop stretch marks. If you use some drugs to increase skin elasticity and promote collagen growth during weight gain or pregnancy, it may reduce or avoid the appearance of stretch marks to a certain extent, but there are also good ways to make these patterns gradually disappear. It is recommended to use professional stretch mark removal products.

Some of them are removed through surgery, but generally no special treatment is required. They will slowly disappear over time. The skin has a certain repair function.
