I recently went to a dermatologist and was told I have Te. I’m having irregular periods but my hormonal levels are okay. I lost my grandma and I broke up with my bf and have been stressed since then. My doctor thinks my hair loss is due to this reason. My hair has been shedding since 6 months. Also I’m 21 years old n my weight is 70 kgs

Answer: Hair loss cause - TE vs FPHL Your trichoscopy photos clearly show miniaturization, which is the hallmark finding of FPHL. FPHL leads to thinning/miniaturization of hair shafts over time. However, your history of stressors and shedding indicate telogen effluvium. TE is diagnosed with a positive hair pull test indicating high shed. It is likely that you have two processes going on based on the data you have provided.

Regarding your concern about your hair, it is possible that what you're having is TE caused by the stress. However, there are also some correctable causes which should be investigated such as anemia, iron deficiency, thyroid disorder, autoimmune disorders, and vitamin D deficiency. I would recommend you to see a dermatologist if your hair loss isn't getting better.

Answer: Understanding Hair Shedding: Stress and TE in Relation to Hair Loss Experiencing hair shedding for 6 months could be linked to stress and Telogen Effluvium (TE). Stress from life changes can trigger TE, causing hair follicles to enter a resting phase and shed more. Irregular periods and stress's impact on hormones could contribute. Focus on stress management, a balanced lifestyle, and seeking support. While temporary, consult a dermatologist for guidance and monitor progress, or make an appointment with us for detailed consultation. Remember, self-care aids hair health.
