I am a 40 year old female with a diagnosis of Chronic Telogen Effluvium. What can I do about it?
For women with hair loss, I generally recommend a medical work-up with lots of blood tests and a good history looking to see if you are taking birth control pills, for example, which is a prime suspect in female hair loss. If you have CTE because you have ruled out the other causes of hair loss, then patient may be the best approach as most cases of CTE, eventually resolve on their own in a year or two.
The work-up for women is described in this former post here on balding blog: https://baldingblog.com/2009/03/13/woman-with-handfuls-of-hair-that-come-out-every-morning/
