Stretch marks both plague men and women. However, because of the many life-changing events in the women's life cycle such as pregnancy and the rapid increase and decrease of weight that accompany it, women are more likely to suffer more from the negative effects of stretch marks than men do.

Cause of Stretch Mark Signs

The primary cause of stretch mark - which is the rapid and abrupt expansion of skin tissues to accommodate sudden increase of weight - is both shared by men and women. Inner skin tissues expand to accommodate the added weight and thus, eventually, tears the skin resulting to white or silver colored jagged, scar-like mark signs which we have come to dread as stretch mark signs. However, as mentioned, because of the pregnancy, women suffer more severe conditions of stretch marks.

How Stretch Marks Affect Your Life

Stretch marks are generally harmless and non-fatal. However, stretch mark signs can go deeper than the skin and negatively affect women's social life. Insecurities caused by having severe stretch mark conditions inhibits a woman's confidence to interact socially. To some extent of this insecurity, stretch marks can even ruin relationships.

Stretch Mark Condition May Vary

Women may be affected by different causes of stretch marks and may even experience it at varying degrees of condition. Even if women were to have the same cause of stretch mark signs, still, different women are still bound to have darker and heavier scars than others. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle and habits can influence such stretch mark sign conditions. Therefore, what cures the stretch mark of one woman may not necessarily cure another.

May Be Permanent For Some

While it is sad to note that some women may have to carry and bear stretch mark signs for the rest of their lives, sadder still is the fact that they could have done something to lessen the condition but didn't. Stretch marks often become permanent and lasting when its early signs are left to develop without early remedies and treatments. If your family is known to experience abrupt weight gains, chances are that you are also prone to these rapid gaining of weight that only causes stretch marks.

Prevention is Better Than Cure

Stretch marks are scars and because of the stubborn nature of scars, they are often easier to prevent than to heal. If you are experiencing a probable cause of stretch mark signs, you should immediately get your hands on a good preventive product to limit the appearance of the ugly scars.

No Clear Surgical of Medical Solutions

The medical field often view stretch mark as a cosmetic problem. This is the reason why there is hardly any medical treatment for such condition. The only surgical way to get rid of stretch mark on the abdomen area is for the individual to undergo an expensive tummy tuck which is not even technically a procedure to get rid of stretch mark signs. It is safer to go for the natural and inexpensive options to prevent stretch marks.
