striae gravidarum

Some success has been made in treating and eliminating striae gravidarum.

Many women experience striae gravidarum during their first pregnancy.

To date, nothing appears to definitively prevent striae gravidarum from forming.

Nearly 45% percent of women develop striae gravidarum before 24 weeks of gestation.

Often referred to as pregnancy stretch marks, striae gravidarum is a form of scarring of the skin of the abdominal due to sudden weight gain during pregnancy.
