What to do if pregnant women have stretch marks on their chests

During pregnancy, a woman's body will experience various conditions, some will experience vomiting, nausea, lower abdominal pain, etc., but some women will have stretch marks on their breasts. This is a problem that troubles many women. What should pregnant women do if they have stretch marks on their breasts?

The formation of stretch marks is mainly due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy. In addition, the distending abdomen causes the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the skin to be damaged or broken, and the abdominal skin becomes thinner and finer, resulting in some pink or purple wavy patterns of varying widths and lengths. After delivery, these patterns will gradually disappear, leaving behind white or silvery shiny scar lines, also known as stretch marks. Stretch marks mainly appear on the abdominal wall, and may also appear on the inner and outer thighs, buttocks, chest, lower back and arms. This is most obvious in primiparas. Once stretch marks appear, they will not disappear and will be accompanied by sagging skin, sagging breasts, and accumulation of abdominal fat, which will seriously affect women's body shape and physical and mental health after childbirth.

(1) A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals should be supplemented during pregnancy. Since collagen fibers themselves are made of protein, you can consume more protein-rich foods. Avoid foods that are too oily, sweet, or salty.

(2) Weight gain: The amount of weight gain during pregnancy should not exceed 2 kg per month and should be controlled within 11 to 14 kg throughout the pregnancy.

(3) Using a belly support belt can bear the gravity burden of the abdomen and reduce excessive stretching and pulling of the skin.

(4) Pay attention to physical exercise and insist on cold water baths to enhance skin elasticity.

(5) Laser removal of stretch marks. Laser has a certain grinding effect, which can help the skin return to a smooth and delicate state.

The above is the solution to stretch marks on pregnant women’s chests. The formation of stretch marks is closely related to the secretion of hormones. In order to reduce the chance of stretch marks on pregnant women’s chests, you should pay more attention to exercising your body and balancing your diet in your daily life, so that you can give yourself a healthier body.
