Is this subcutaneous grease accumulation really the only appendage of the feminine race? One can believe it because one estimates that 90% are reached of cellulitis to various degrees, against 2% hardly of the men. Why such an inequality and what are the moments of the life more auspicious to the development of the capitons? The women dread the cellulitis since the night of the times. But why they are the only ones to pay of this natural phenomenon? An inequality before the cellulitisUnder the epidermis and the dermis three layers of greases are. The hypoderme shelters the most superficial. These greasy cells are organized in clusters separated by baffles of connective tissue. If they are too big, these adipocytes crosses these baffles and push skin upwards, forming small protuberances. Is it the famous orange peel. But why the women are they the only ones exposed to this phenomenon? Several elements of answer: - This natural phenomenon is essentially of hormonal origin, so only the women are concerned: the main persons responsible are the estrogènes (feminine hormones);
- The greasy lobules is bigger at the woman;
- The arrangement of these lobules is perpendicular to the dermis at the woman, contrary to the man where they are oblique and slip without forming capitons;
- The woman's skin is thinner;
- The distribution of the adipocytes is to the level of the stomaches, the thighs, the buttocks and the hips. At the man, they are rather situated to the level of the abdomen.
More to risk during some periodsIn direct tie with the hormonal fluctuations, the cellulitis appears preferentially to some periods of life, mainly the puberty, pregnancy, the menopause or perish-menopause, the menstrual cycles and the first months of pill hold. The puberty: the estrogènes entails a development of the greasy cloths on some zones, mainly the hips, the stomach, the buttocks and the thighs; Pregnancy: the quantity more important of hormones can encourage the apparition of cellulitis; The menopause: the greases tend more to be stocked that to be consumed. During hold of weight import, the hormones are in excess and contribute to the apparition of cellulitis. A food unbalanced, a physical exercise lack and a hereditary predisposition can aggravate your risk to develop a cellulitis and to accelerate its evolution toward stages where it becomes harder to rid themselves of it. Finally, with age, the cutaneous and subcutaneous cloth can lose its suppleness and her springiness. Two phenomena that can amplify the cellulitis. 2009-04-21
