Facts about stretch marks

Here I would like to share some facts with you about stretch mark. This is what I've read from this website.

Normally, stretch marks are strongly related to pregnancy. They are a common side affect of pregnancy. That’s why the Chinese name for stretch mark is "RenChenWen", which means "Pregnancy Lines".

However, sometimes women can get stretch marks without being pregnant. Here is a myth about stretch mark. I would like to share this story with you.

“I could not understand why I had pregnancy lines without ever being pregnant, I was never even with a man, I was not fat either. At the time in our country virginity is a BIG BIG thing (it should be by the way, but a bride would get thrown out on her wedding night if she was "found" not a virgin, bringing shame to her and her whole family for the rest of her life) Even though I was a virgin but what chance did I have with "pregnancy lines" ?!”

So what cause stretch marks actually? Here are the correct answers:

They are caused by tears in the tissues of the skin. These small tears occur in the sub dermal layers of the skin. The connective tissues are usually affected by the stretching of the skin during pregnancy.

As a result of pregnancy weight gain, the skin is stretched. As the skin stretches, the elastin and collagen fibers in the skin are stretched as well. The skin continues to stretch throughout the pregnancy as the baby grows.

When the skin is stretched beyond its natural capacity, tiny tears occur. These tiny tears are accompanied by microscopic bleeding of the connective tissues. The production of collagen is also reduced when the skin is stretched beyond its natural capacity.

As the torn skin heals, stretch marks are formed. At first, the stretch marks may be red, pink, purple or brown. Over time, the mark fades a bit and becomes a light silver color. As time passes, the marks will become gradually lighter.

But, other than pregnancy, it mostly happens during:
- Natural growth for adolescent boys and girls
- Rapid weight gain/loss
- Depression or extreme unhappiness (unhappy, stressed and depressed people are more likely to get stretch marks)
- Long term lacking of certain nutrients
- Sudden change in physical or environmental conditions.
