Understanding Telogen Effluvium
Telogen Effluvium is a common but often misunderstood condition that affects the hair growth cycle. It’s important to gain a clear understanding of this condition, its causes, and how it impacts your hair.
What is Telogen Effluvium?
Telogen Effluvium is a temporary hair loss condition characterized by excessive shedding or thinning of hair. Unlike other forms of hair loss, Telogen Effluvium doesn’t typically result in baldness. Instead, it causes a noticeable reduction in hair density.
Causes of Telogen Effluvium:
Telogen Effluvium is often triggered by various factors, including:
- Stress: Significant emotional or physical stress can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, pushing more hair follicles into the resting (telogen) phase.
- Illness or Surgery: Serious illnesses, major surgeries, or significant weight loss can lead to Telogen Effluvium as the body redirects resources away from hair growth.
- Medications: Some medications, such as certain antidepressants, anticoagulants, and thyroid medications, can cause hair shedding as a side effect.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause can trigger Telogen Effluvium.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc, and biotin, can disrupt hair growth.
Recovery and Management:
The good news is that Telogen Effluvium is typically reversible. Once the underlying cause is addressed or resolved, hair growth should gradually return to its normal pattern. However, recovery can take several months.
