Stretch marks on the back of adolescents

The back is the most important part of the human body in terms of energy and motion. Here a huge number of muscles are concentrated, and the state of the back is a projection of the internal organs, the state of the blood vessels, and also of the peripheral nerves. The brain and nerve fibers that are in the trunk of the spine - this is the central nervous system. That's why in a situation where on the back of a teenager aged thirteen to fifteen appeared striae (stretch marks), parents begin to panic.

Reasons for the appearance of stretch marks

When on the back of a boy or teenage girl there are stretches in the form of scarring whitish or red, the reason in most cases is the lack of muscle mass. The back, or more precisely the muscles, should support the spine, provide the ability to stretch it, rotate, participate in the movement of the shoulders and hands, lowering and lifting all the ribs. The adolescent organism grows at a tremendous rate. Bone tissue increases, weight increases, and muscles do not always keep up. Most stretch marks on the back are a genetic predisposition, but they can still be avoided, giving attention to the development of the muscular framework in time.

The second reason for the appearance on the skin of the striae is the diseases of the internal organs. This serious symptom can not be left without attention. Before treating the stretch marks on the back of a teenager, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive medical examination, donating blood to determine its hormonal status, and by performing ultrasound of the kidneys, internal organs of the abdominal cavity, thyroid gland and adrenal glands.

Their backs are the standard of beauty of the male body and an indicator of overall health. Swimming will help both prevent and remove stretch marks on the back, if they are not too deep.
