      Sorry i think you have miss understood systemic estrogen is types of HRT which is body identical. All i have read suggest HRT helps with hair loss. I also know women who had POI or hysterectomy can need very high dosage of hormones to relplace their natural hormones.they should also get Testosterone as well.
