Did you mean Chronic Telogen Effluvium?

Glossary Chronic Telogen Effluvium

persistent hair shedding lasting over six months

Chronic Telogen Effluvium (CTE) is a condition characterized by prolonged and excessive hair shedding, typically lasting more than six months. It occurs when a higher than normal number of hair follicles enter the telogen (resting) phase of the hair growth cycle, leading to diffuse thinning across the scalp. This condition can be triggered by various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions.

research Age-related diffuse chronic telogen effluvium- type alopecia in female squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis).

9 citations , April 2005 in “PubMed”

This study found that diffuse alopecia in female squirrel monkeys is associated with chronic telogen effluvium and appears to be predominantly age-related, potentially serving as an animal model for human diffuse alopecia.

research The reliability of horizontally sectioned scalp biopsies in the diagnosis of chronic diffuse telogen hair loss in women

137 citations , July 2004 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This study observed that triple horizontal scalp biopsies provided a more accurate diagnosis of female pattern hair loss in women than a single horizontal biopsy, especially for those with advanced hair loss.

research Chronic telogen effluvium is due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration

40 citations , May 2010 in “Australasian Journal of Dermatology”

This study suggests that chronic telogen effluvium may be due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration, resulting in recurrent hair shedding with minimal long-term hair volume loss.

research Evaluation of serum ferritin, vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels as biochemical markers of chronic telogen effluvium in women

1 citations , April 2021 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology”

This study found low serum ferritin and vitamin B12 levels in a significant portion of women with chronic telogen effluvium, while vitamin D deficiency was less common.

Comparison Between Hemoglobin Serum Level and Serum Ferritin Level in Detecting Low Iron Store in Adult Menstruating Females with Chronic Telogen Effluvium

research Comparison Between Hemoglobin Serum Level and Serum Ferritin level in Detecting Low Iron Store in Adult Menstruating Females with Chronic Telogen Effluvium

January 2012 in “Iraqi postgraduate Medical Journal”

This study found that low serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with chronic telogen effluvium in adult menstruating females, suggesting that serum ferritin is a better indicator of low iron stores than hemoglobin levels in this condition.

community Could Finasteride theoretically induce chronic telogen effluvium?

5 upvotes 1 year ago

A user experienced continuous hair shedding for 13 months after starting finasteride, suspecting it might cause chronic telogen effluvium, and considered switching to dutasteride or stopping medication. Other users suggested that finasteride doesn't cause hair loss, recommending dutasteride for more aggressive hair loss, while some advised against stopping medication.

community Is 2years+ telogen effluvium possible?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 2 upvotes 2 years ago

The user has been losing hair for over two years despite taking dutasteride and RU58841, even increasing dutasteride to 2.5mg. They are questioning if their hair loss could be due to telogen effluvium instead.

community 9 years of hair loss process and 27 months of treatment. What's going on?

40 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced hair loss diagnosed as chronic Telogen Effluvium and male pattern baldness, treated with finasteride and minoxidil, later switching to dutasteride due to side effects but with limited success. The user plans to return to finasteride due to side effects from dutasteride, while others suggest maintaining consistent treatment and considering additional options like oral minoxidil and lifestyle changes.

community Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss

in Research/Science 5 upvotes 1 year ago

Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

community Questions about DUPA and figuring out what my hairloss is (NEED INPUT BADLY)

5 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses severe hair shedding and thinning, with the original poster using finasteride, oral minoxidil, and other supplements without improvement. The discussion highlights the possibility of telogen effluvium and the importance of addressing potential underlying health issues, such as stress and gut health, rather than assuming diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA).

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.
