Telogen Effluvium is a type of temporary hair loss in which excessive hair shedding takes place all over the body. It usually happens after 2-3 months of physical as well as emotional stress such as illness, childbirth, surgery, or unbalanced diet. Once the cause is resolved or reduced stress levels are achieved, what happens is that hair regrows normally.

What Are the Common Causes and Symptoms of Telogen Effluvium?
People ask, “What are the causes of Telogen Effluvium as well as its diagnosis?” The causes of Telogen Effluvium are:
- High fever or severe illness
- Infections
- Hormonal changes (pregnancy, childbirth, menopause)
- Iron or nutritional deficiency
- Thyroid disorders
- Emotional or physical stress
- Certain medications

The condition mostly results in uniform shedding of hairs in the scalp. The patient experiences the loss of hairs during washing, combing, or even as they find them in their pillows. Dr. Mayank Singh states that it is crucial to identify the cause of the condition to prevent the uniform loss of hairs and to promote regrowth.
