More about your care

What is it?

Telogen effluvium is a form of diffuse hair shedding that occurs when a physiological or psychological stress event causes a large number of follicles to enter the resting phase (telogen) prematurely. Unlike other forms of alopecia, there is no follicle destruction, so recovery is usually spontaneous.

Common triggers include intense emotional stress, a febrile illness, major surgery or sudden hormonal changes. The doctor reviews the clinical history to identify the cause and confirm the diagnosis.

Read the full condition information

Telogen effluvium usually resolves once the trigger is gone. The doctor decides whether you need support or simply time.

HOW COMMON IT IS

One of the most common reasons for consultation for diffuse hair loss in primary care.

CAUSES

  • Intense emotional or physical stress
  • Acute febrile illness (flu, COVID-19)
  • Hormonal changes (postpartum, menopause)
  • Rapid weight loss or restrictive diets
  • Major surgery or trauma
  • Medications that alter the hair cycle

TREATMENT APPROACHES

  • Identification and removal of the triggering factor
  • Nutritional support if deficits are detected
  • Topical or oral minoxidil in prolonged cases
  • Clinical follow-up to confirm recovery

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

If you notice diffuse, heavy hair shedding that persists for more than three months, the doctor assesses the possible causes and guides you on the most appropriate management.

Read the refund terms
Telogen effluvium sits within the hair growth area that Hi-Doctor covers. Our doctors review your case individually, not through an algorithm, and propose a therapeutic approach when indicated.
You fill in a hair growth-oriented medical questionnaire (~5 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical history, current medication, allergies and background in less than 2 hours on average. If clarifications are needed, they message you via the private chat in your account.
The doctor proposes the most appropriate treatment among those authorised in the EU for hair growth. The hair-growth plan is €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days). Other areas: €25/month for weight loss, €35 per sexual health consultation and €40 per skin consultation. If your case is not eligible, the applicable fee is refunded in full.
It depends on the case. For hair growth, reasonable timelines are explained during the consultation and follow-up lives inside the private chat. The full medical record stays in an auditable thread inside your account.
Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Espoo you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid at any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
Through the pattern of loss, how long it has been progressing, family history and current medication. In some cases we ask for scalp photos. The doctor proposes a tailored treatment plan and adjusts it to your tolerance.
The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
