All the things experienced in life will leave traces, the most intuitive may be the growth lines, fat lines, stretch marks on the body...
Among these "wrinkles", the common one is probably stretch marks: the pregnancy was unloaded in October, but the belly left a series of marks.
But they are also having children, why some people do not grow stretch marks.
Why some people have stretch marks
And some people are not long?
Stretch marks are scientifically called "white lines", also known as atrophic lines, expansion lines, which are a bands of thread fused by the tendon membranes of the abdominal muscles in the anterior abdominal wall, and the muscle fiber tissue attaches to it, like the midline that divides the left and right sides of the belly.
In addition to pregnant mothers, many people also have similar "wrinkles", such as growth lines that grow after rapid growth during puberty, fat lines on obese people and so on.
In fact, everyone has it, but most people are not obvious.
Who is prone to stretch marks?
During pregnancy, estrogen and androgen secretion are unbalanced, pigmentation deepens and aggravates, this line will become obvious, about 90% of pregnant women will grow stretch marks, generally in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
However, the time for different pregnant women to grow stretch marks is not the same, which is related to personal constitution, age, skin color, and hormone levels.
In general, pregnant women with white skin and usually acne are not easy to leave a mark, stretch marks will be lighter; pregnant women with darker skin, usually easy to deposit pigment, and scarred wounds will have deeper stretch marks.
How to prevent stretch marks?
Whether there will be stretch marks, on the one hand, depends on their own constitution, genetics and other congenital reasons, on the other hand, before pregnancy and pregnancy maintenance is also very important.
Expectant mothers should pay attention to exercise before pregnancy, can do appropriate massage, warm water bath, etc., while eating more foods rich in protein and vitamins to enhance skin elasticity.
After pregnancy, while ensuring a balanced and nutritious diet, you should adhere to moderate exercise such as walking; avoid excessive weight gain and too fast; and gently massage the abdominal skin during the warm shower to make the skin more elastic.
How did the "tattoos" on the body come out?
Obesity striae, growth striae, and stretch marks are called inflated striae because they are linear or cord-like atrophic skin scars that appear after skin swelling.
All swelling lines may cause damage to the connective tissue of the dermis, destruction of collagen fibers and elastin fibers, thinning of the epidermis, weakening of skin stretch and elasticity, resulting in streaky skin damage.
The swelling streaks begin as red or purple-red slightly raised streaks that become red streaks, usually asymptomatic or mildly itchy and painful.
Over time, the pigmentation is lost and atrophied, and the color becomes grayish-white, becoming white streaks. White lines are usually slightly sunken, soft to the touch, mostly without conscious symptoms, occasional itching, burning sensation, generally do not subside.
