Telogen effluvium is a common hair loss condition that occurs when a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting phase of the hair growth cycle prematurely. This can lead to noticeable shedding of hair, often triggered by factors such as stress, illness, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies. Typically, the hair loss associated with telogen effluvium is temporary, and hair usually regrows once the underlying cause is addressed. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management to ensure that other potential causes of hair loss are ruled out.
