About Telogen effluvium

Telogen effluvium is a form of hair loss characterized by excessive shedding of hair in the telogen (resting) phase of the hair growth cycle. Unlike other types of hair loss & telogen effluvium is often reversible & and the hair typically regrows once the underlying cause is addressed. This condition can be triggered by a variety of factors & including significant stress & hormonal changes & certain medications & and nutritional deficiencies. The hallmark of telogen effluvium is a noticeable increase in hair shedding & which can occur several months after a triggering event. While the shedding itself can be distressing & it's crucial to identify and address the root cause. Common triggers include childbirth & major surgery & severe illness & or extreme stress. Additionally & certain medications & like some antidepressants or blood pressure medications & can contribute to telogen effluvium. Managing telogen effluvium involves addressing the underlying cause. If the trigger is a temporary stressor & such as surgery or illness & the hair loss may resolve on its own over time. Ensuring a balanced diet & correcting nutritional deficiencies & and practicing stress management techniques can contribute to overall hair health.
