Although it is natural for any person to see stretch marks due to their increased weight. But during pregnancy, the weight of women is almost certain to increase by 14 to 15 kg. In such a situation stretch marks can be seen in about 90 percent of pregnant women. These stretch marks are mostly visible in the abdomen of women after 6 to 7 months of pregnancy and not only this, these marks become even more visible after delivery.

What are stretch marks and why do they happen?

The growth of muscles and skin occurs at the same rate in the human body, but when the muscle starts growing more than the skin, then the fibers in the lower layer of the skin start breaking down and in this way it causes stretch marks in the skin. And along with the skin in the enlarged places in the body, some shiny or light black marks appear in the form of stretch marks. During pregnancy, stretch marks are clearly visible in the belly, lower abdomen, sides, breasts, back and thighs.

Remedies to remove stretch marks

These stretch marks can be effectively reduced by taking medical treatment, in which various treatments are done on the skin, which can make their complexion similar to the skin.

Apart from this, cream or gel also proves to be effective to some extent, which you should take only on the advice of the doctor.

For best effect, you don’t have to let stretch marks get old and the sooner treatment is taken when stretch marks appear, they are rarely visible on your skin.
