Experiencing Sudden Hair Loss...telogen Effluvium?
Posted: 12-20-05 02:46am

I am a freshman in college and nearing the end of my first semester. I moved away from home for the first time in my life late last august. Since I moved pretty far, was away from home, anything familiar, and anyone I know for the first time in my life, I went through some of the heaviest emtional stress I have ever experienced. About 2 1/2 to 3 months later I began to notice hair loss on my scalp. Washing or running my hands through my hair left many hairs in my hand. Worried, I researched it and I seem to be experiencing some sort of "telogen effluvium". I have yet to see a derm. But have made an appt. I am wondering if anyone has any say or advice on what I am experiencing, it would be appreciated...Thank you.

4 yrs ago I used to work out in gym jus to maintain my body for a year with out using any supplements just regular healthy home food.After that I left the gym n got into my studies..

Last 3 yrs I am havin a sudden problem of hair fall which started a week before my semester exams may be because of the study load(which I dnt think mite be the reason).
My hair grow for few weeks n then fall one of a sudden in large nos enen if I m not having any exam.This is phenomenal n takes place one of a sudden.

I generally dnt use any chemicals just a regular shampoo.
There is no heridetary cause to this as my dad n n bro all have thick hair which I used to have at times.The desity of the hair is sparse n they r thinning while they grow too after a period but when they start falling they loose the shine n lusture n bicome brittle n easy to break types n also are easily pluckable..

The real reason is not known to me as I m not having any bald patches on my head as there is a regrowth but there is thinning of hair.
I am really quizzed as this is goin on frm last 3 yrs n I dnt know the reason why?

1>there is no family history of hair fall
2>hair fall occurs even when I m stress free
3>all my recently taken health report(urine,blood) are normal
4>idont have any other health problem.
5>i am not adicted to any bad habits(smoking or drinking)
6>did show this to the dermatologist he says all is rite jus wait n ull get ur hair back.

Tell me solution to this plz as its been 3 yrs n this is goin on...
