Anagen Effluvium is a form of hair loss that occurs during the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle. It is different from telogen effluvium, which occurs during the resting phase of the hair cycle, and androgenic alopecia, which is a genetic condition that causes hair thinning and baldness in both men and women.
While anagen effluvium is primarily caused by factors such as chemotherapy, radiation, or certain medications, telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia can have a range of causes, including stress, hormonal imbalances, and genetics.
