There is a black vertical line on the stomach

The appearance of a black vertical line on the belly is a phenomenon that most men and women will notice. Since each person's body secretes different hormones, the causes of black vertical lines on the belly are also different. If a pregnant woman finds black vertical lines on her belly, it is the pregnancy line caused by progesterone. In addition to the pregnancy line, what other causes are there for the black line on the belly?

In fact, this line is the so-called pregnancy line, which will appear between the 2nd and 4th month of pregnancy. Due to the influence of progesterone, this line will grow from the perineum to the navel, and sometimes even grow to the chest. Some are so light in color that they cannot be seen, while others are very dark in color and even have hair growing on them. These are all normal. The growth, amount and color of hair on the pregnancy line are all determined by the pregnant woman's own hormones. So the statement about the pregnancy line is not determined by whether it is a boy or a girl.

Many people think that this line appears after pregnancy. In fact, many people have this line on their abdomen before pregnancy, but it is white. People with fair skin can basically not see it, but people with dark skin or people with more pigmentation can see it. However, this line doesn't do much.

Some mothers are lucky that they don’t have such an ugly line. In fact, 90% of pregnant women will have this vertical line during pregnancy. Especially after the belly becomes bigger, the abdominal muscles relax to accommodate the expanded uterus. In addition, the hormonal changes during pregnancy cause melanin to precipitate, which makes this line look particularly scary. But don't worry that this line will not disappear. Usually, this line will fade and become invisible within a few months to a year after delivery. Of course, for some people, it may take 1-2 years for it to disappear. This is related to the pigmentation of the body.

Many people want to make this line lighter or make it disappear as soon as possible after delivery. The editor suggests that you can apply olive oil or some products to prevent stretch marks on this line and on the belly starting from the middle of pregnancy. Not only can it make the pregnancy line disappear quickly after delivery, it is also effective for stretch marks.

There are many folk sayings that the pregnancy line can determine the gender of the fetus. It is believed that if it is on the left or in the middle, it is a boy, and if it is on the right, it is a girl. In fact, this has no scientific basis at all. If the pregnancy line is biased to the left or right, Chinese medicine says that this is a symptom of insufficient fetal energy. When the fetal energy is exhausted, the fetal organs have not yet matured, which can easily cause premature birth or stillbirth.
