Effluvium: Understanding and Addressing Different Types of Hair Loss at Estefarya Hair Transplant Center

At Estefarya Hair Transplant Center, we recognize that hair loss is not a singular condition but rather a symptom that can manifest in various forms of effluvium. Understanding these different types is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment.

What is Effluvium?
Effluvium refers to hair loss or shedding caused by disruptions in the normal hair growth cycle. Various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or medical conditions, can trigger these disruptions. Effluvium typically results in diffuse hair thinning across the scalp, rather than bald patches.

Types of Effluvium and Their Characteristics:

  1. Telogen Effluvium: This is the most common form of effluvium, where a significant number of hairs prematurely enter the telogen (resting) phase and subsequently shed. It can be triggered by stress, illness, medication, or childbirth.
  2. Anagen Effluvium: This type occurs during the anagen (growth) phase, often as a result of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, which rapidly halts hair growth, leading to widespread hair loss.
  3. Chronic Telogen Effluvium: A prolonged form of telogen effluvium, typically affecting middle-aged women, where hair shedding lasts for several years.
