So how does it happen?
A system-wide assault flips a large fraction of the follicles into telogen at once, and they shed simultaneously.
Now, this is usually reversible.
It is reversible if the trigger is identified and corrected, but chronic telogen effluvium, when the trigger never resolves, can convert to a persistent shedding problem.
So typically what patients see
is they'll go through a week or two or maybe three of a severe shut.
They're in the shower, you know, pulling out this hair, noticing it in their hairbrush on the pillows, and then it just kind of slows down, and then they go back to their normal daily allotted hair loss.
So that is typical telogen effluvium.
The hair, you know, it'll take about a year for everything to come back, but it does tend to come back as long as we can stop the trigger.
So you get better from the illness, you recover from COVID, you know, you're postpartum, you're not pregnant again soon.
But there are a few conditions where you will chronically do this because you've got some nutrition deficiency or something that you've not corrected.
Number three, iron deficiency.
Speaking of nutritional deficiencies, the most missed cause.
Like I said before, in one study, iron deficiency was present in 70% of women with hair loss.
Most had normal blood counts.
Most had normal iron levels.
But what was low?
Ferritin.
Ferritin.
You must check ferritin.
