Stretch marks are mainly caused by hormones during pregnancy The influence of hormones caused the wavy pattern formed by the bulge of the abdomen. Stretch marks are mainly caused by the bulging of the abdomen during pregnancy, which causes the skin to lose its elasticity due to the excessive involvement of the skin, and a purple-red or pink pattern of various lengths appears. Generally, during 6-7 months of pregnancy, there will be a lot of purple-red texture on the abdomen, and after delivery, the color will gradually fade and show a kind of silver-white or white streaks. It usually appears on the abdomen, chest, thighs, and some patients also appear on the back. During pregnancy, you can eat more foods rich in collagen and protein, which can increase the elasticity of the skin and reduce the probability of stretch marks. You can also apply olive oil to the area where stretch marks appear, and massage can dilute or prevent the appearance of stretch marks.
