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.

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.
The 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.
Can 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
Not all women are affected by the same cause of stretch mark signs but majority are bound to experience varying degrees of the condition. Even if all women were to experience the same cause of stretch mark signs, some women may have lighter scars than others and only in limited areas. Your deeper, darker, uglier scars may be influenced to some extent by genetic predisposition, skin type and life habits. It also follows therefore that not all remedies are effective for all women.
Permanent Stretch Marks For Some Women
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.
It is Easier to Prevent Than To 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 Surgical Stretch Mark Solutions
Stretch mark condition is often viewed as a cosmetic problem rather than a medical one. Therefore, there is really no medical or surgical procedure to get rid of stretch marks. And even if an individual undergoes tummy tuck to get rid of stretch marks on the abdomen, this procedure is not even truly considered as a surgical or medical solution to the problem. It is advisable to go for more natural stretch mark solutions such as natural creams and ointments.
