Stretch marks during pregnancy - Symptoms and Treatment

Stretch marks are the most common aspects of pregnancy, which happens to more than three-quarters of women expecting their baby.


They are exemplified as pink/purple marks that occur on the skin, which will come into view as silvery lines with the passing time.


During pregnancy, stretch marks usually occur at the body parts where the skin is stretched. The most normal development of these stretch marks is on abdomen, breasts, and thighs.


A significant number of treatment processes pledges to make these stretch marks fade away. However, hardly any of them work. Thus, if you observe developing stretch marks, consult your doctor as soon as possible.

What Lead towards Stretch Marks during Pregnancy

When the skin is elongated because of quick weight changes, it leads the middle layer (also regarded as ‘dermis’) to break.


This renders the veins of blood beneath, leading stretch marks of dark red color to appear. When the skin retracts, they make a deposit of fat to be apparent, which illuminates a silvery color.


Stretch marks happen to most of the women during pregnancy; however, there are a few other reasons, which can lead your body towards developing stretch marks. The factors include:


  • Rapid and significant changes in body weight
  • Hereditary of Stretch marks
  • Pale Skin

    Avoiding stretch marks during pregnancy

    There are many practices you can follow in order to prevent stretch marks from occurring. These include:


    Exercise: This keeps you from putting on baby weight rapidly and keeps your skin agile.


    Drink water: Keep yourself hydrated before, during and post pregnancy.


    Take healthy diet: Intake food that has more vitamins, antioxidants and omega 3s, even though you must avoid having food with large amounts of Vitamin A or E.


    Keep check of what you eat: Have food with more calories, do not ‘eat for two.' Because these leads towards rapid weight increase, hence stretch marks increase in that order.


    Creams and Oils: Apply lotions and oils specially made to fade stretch marks for pregnant women

    Although the stretch lines tend to fade away with time, it is still not sufficient for some women.


    Usually, women who wish to lose their stretch marks after the birth of their child would use several ointments and creams. Nevertheless, in the majority of cases, these are much more than just moisturizers.


    While they might assist you to manage the usual itching and irritation, there is no much possibility that they will be enough to help your stretch marks fade away or crop up rapidly.


    Some women who have highly visible stretch marks opt for laser therapy to treat their visibility; also, cosmetic surgery can be done to reduce their appearance. Conversely, these forms of treatment are not advised as they might lead towards scarring or other difficulties.If you are in search of medical advice for tackling stretch marks from experts, see one of our doctors online now.
