Telogen Effluvium is a common, temporary hair loss pattern where more hairs than usual enter the resting phase and shed. It often begins two to three months after a trigger such as fever, surgery, childbirth, crash dieting, emotional stress, or a new medicine. Most cases stabilise and regrow with the right plan.

A temporary hair shedding condition where more hairs shift into the resting phase after a body stressor. It causes diffuse thinning rather than bald patches.
Effluvium sheds hair evenly across the scalp and often follows a trigger. Pattern loss is gradual, region specific, and family linked. We confirm with examination and trichoscopy.
Fever or infection, surgery, childbirth, crash diets, major stress, new medicines, thyroid issues, or iron deficiency can trigger shedding.
Acute cases usually settle within three to six months once the trigger is addressed. Regrowth follows naturally.
Yes in most cases. New baby hairs appear first, then thicken with time. We guide supportive care to speed recovery.
Often no, if the trigger is corrected. Topical minoxidil can be added to support regrowth. We individualise the plan.
Yes. Many women notice shedding a few months after delivery. It settles with time and proper care.
Yes. Significant emotional or physical stress can push hairs into the resting phase. Stress management helps recovery.
Targeted tests only when history suggests a deficiency or hormone issue, for example iron, vitamin D, or thyroid.
High heat, tight styles, and harsh chemicals can increase breakage and shedding. Choose gentle styling until recovery.
