    The document discusses telogen effluvium (ET), a common non-scarring hair loss disorder affecting both men and women, with a higher incidence in women due to their greater likelihood of seeking medical treatment. ET can be triggered by various factors, including medications, stress, and physiological changes, and typically presents as sudden hair shedding. Diagnosis involves patient history and physical examination, with acute cases lasting less than 6 months. Treatment focuses on patient reassurance and addressing underlying causes, with consideration for psychiatric support due to the emotional impact of hair loss.
