Abstract

Background and Design: Stria gravidarum (SG) is a cosmetically disfiguring condition that is commonly seen in pregnancy. Various parameters such as age of mother, family history, genetical factors like skin colour, various hormonal changes, weight gain seen in pregnancy and physical features of newborn are accused in the development. The studies reported primarily include primigravidas. In this study, the presence of SG and associated risk factors are aimed to be investigated in both primi and multigravidas.
