टेलोजन एफ्लुवियम (तनाव/बीमारी से संबंधित बाल झड़ना)

Telogen Effluvium is a temporary form of hair loss that occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase.
It is commonly triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness, surgery, medications, or hormonal changes.
Hair shedding usually appears as diffuse thinning across the scalp rather than bald patches.
The condition often begins 2–3 months after the triggering event and may last for several months.
Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, stress management, nutritional support, and reassurance, as hair often regrows naturally.
