From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telogen effluvium is characterized by excessive and early entry of hairs into the telogen phase.[1][2]:752-3
[edit] Causes
Marked emotional or physiological stressful events may result in an alteration of the normal hair cycle and lead to diffuse hair loss, with causes including fever, childbirth, chronic illness, major surgery, anemia, severe emotional disorders, crash diets, hypothyroidism, and drugs.[1][3]:640
