telogen effluvium diffuse cyclic hair loss resting phase systemic stresses physiological situations

TLDR Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss that happens when stress or illness causes many hairs to enter the resting phase and fall out.

Telogen effluvium (TE) is a condition characterized by diffuse cyclic hair loss, primarily observed in women. This condition is triggered when systemic stresses, diseases, or physiological situations cause a significant number of scalp hairs to prematurely enter the resting phase, leading to hair loss.
