Pregnancy Scar

A pregnancy scar (Latin: Striae gravidārum), or a postpartum scar (English: Puerperal scar), also referred to as the symbol of a child, is a smoother mark on the abdomen than the stretch marks that form during pregnancy.

Often, women with twins or multiple pregnancies experience larger and more visible scars, but they do not have any relationship with the size of the uterus or the number of twins in the womb. More noticeable and extended scars indicating a double birth or large belly may be less noticeable in the pelvic area.

Scar stages: Tears in the cervix and skin are precursors to the formation of stretch marks. Scars go through several stages before they form and begin to dissipate. Only complete filling of the wound with skin cells, which occurs approximately 2 weeks after the injury, can protect against repeated ruptures and further deformation of the tissue. The wounds sink a little before filling, they look as if the skin has been pulled under the wound epithelium. Others call it a retraction or belly button look (Bellied). This appearance is also visible when examined by a doctor. At this stage, you may notice both stretch marks/stretch marks and scars on the skin. Filling with clotted blood lasts about 1-2 days after the injury occurs. This is the hematoma stage and is the same as the formation of a bruise. During this time, it is important to protect the wound from external influences; steaming will only make the situation worse. The appearance of the wound then begins to change. At the beginning of this stage, we can see white areas called the demarcation line. Along the edges of the wound, the skin epithelium contracts to the point of rupture, and the skin sutures stretch towards the center of the wound. As a rule, tears extend mainly from the upper side (above the wound) and cover a large area. Lines of demarcation are very important because they are active evidence of wound healing, indicating that the wound is at the end of the bleeding phase and will begin to fill with tissue that will continue to stretch the skin. When the lines of demarcation begin to rise along the sides of the scar, which usually occurs a week or two after this process begins, the tissue is considered to have filled the scar. Proof of this fact is the external reduction of the scar. Due to the demarcation of the epithelium of already unfilled skin lesions, the connective tissue stretches and hardens, smoothing out after the demarcation line moves upward. Enlarging scars may begin to adhere to
