    TLDR Telogen hair loss affects emotional well-being and quality of life, with no standard treatment available.
    Telogen hair loss is a prevalent issue in clinical trichology, characterized by acute and chronic forms. Acute telogen hair loss follows a triggering event, while chronic telogen hair loss persists for over 6 months with a wave-like pattern. Common causes include thyroid diseases, autoimmune disorders, severe iron deficiency anemia, malabsorption, malnutrition, and certain medications. Although it does not lead to complete baldness, it significantly impacts the patient's psychoemotional well-being and quality of life. Currently, there is no standardized treatment, and therapies focus on restoring the hair life cycle and addressing trigger factors. Part of the treatment also involves improving the patient's psychological state.
