    GlossaryDystrophic Anagen Effluvium

    hair loss from damaged growth-phase follicles, often due to chemotherapy

    Dystrophic Anagen Effluvium refers to a type of hair loss that occurs when hair follicles in the anagen (growth) phase are damaged, often due to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This damage leads to the production of weakened, brittle hair that breaks easily, resulting in rapid and significant hair shedding.
