What is Anagen Effluvium?
Anagen Effluvium is the sudden hair loss, which occurs as a result
of chemicals or radiation, such as the hair loss that results during
certain types of chemotherapy or radiation.
In Anangen effluvium the hair does not enter a resting stage as
it does with Telogen Effluvium. The hair loss is usually sudden
occurring 1 to 3 weeks after exposure to chemicals or radiation
has occurred.
Chemotherapy is used in the treatment of cancer to destroy the
cancer cells, which divide rapidly within the body. One side effect
of this cancer treatment however is that it can also stop the growth
of the hair and may cause the shedding of hair. In some cases up
to 90% of the hair may be affected and often the remaining 10%
was already in the resting phase before the treatment was started.
Anagen effluvium caused by chemotherapy is only a temporary condition
and in most cases hair growth will return to normal once treatment
is finished.
Treatment for severe hair loss in this case is the Allusions Cranial
Prosthesis.
