Telogen effluvium - what does this mean
Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss that occurs when the normal hair growth cycle is disrupted and large numbers of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase at the same time. this causes a sudden, diffuse shedding of hair and can last for several months. it is often triggered by physical or emotional stress, such as a major illness, surgery, or childbirth.
What happens during the disease - telogen effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a condition characterized by excessive shedding of hair. it is thought to be caused by a disruption of the normal hair growth cycle, resulting in a large number of hairs entering the telogen (resting) phase at the same time. this leads to an increased number of hairs entering the shedding phase, causing excessive shedding of hair. it is believed to be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, medications, stress, and physical trauma.
