    TLDR Telogen Effluvium causes increased hair shedding and can be challenging to diagnose and treat.
    Telogen Effluvium (TE) is a common disorder characterized by increased hair shedding due to a disruption in the hair cycle. It can be triggered by various factors and presents a diagnostic challenge due to its similarity to other forms of diffuse hair loss. While not life-threatening, TE poses significant psychosocial issues, particularly in chronic cases, where 30% may be linked to unresolved emotional conflicts. Diagnosis and management benefit from quantitative hair measurements, which also have a therapeutic effect. Despite limited evidence-based knowledge, TE remains a therapeutic challenge.
