Strech Mark
Pregnancy stretch marks, also known as striae gravidarum, are a common concern that many pregnant individuals experience as their bodies undergo significant changes during pregnancy. These stretch marks typically appear as narrow streaks or lines on the skin's surface and are caused by the stretching and expansion of the skin to accommodate the growing fetus.
Here's an overview of the gynecologist's role in offering Strech Mark service:
- Assessment and Education: Gynecologists may discuss stretch marks with their patients during routine gynecological exams, when the patient has recently been pregnant or experienced significant weight changes.
- Prevention Advice: Gynecologists may offer advice on preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of developing stretch marks, particularly during pregnancy.
- Postpartum Support: For women who have recently given birth and are concerned about stretch marks, gynecologists can offer support and reassurance. They may discuss strategies for managing stretch marks postpartum.
