    GlossaryEffluvium

    shedding or loss of hair in large quantities

    Effluvium refers to the shedding or loss of hair, often in large quantities. It is commonly associated with conditions like telogen effluvium, where a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting phase simultaneously, leading to noticeable hair thinning or shedding. This can be triggered by factors such as stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
