Estrogen, progesterone or both are recommended for menopausal women who suffer from dryness and luck of libido?

Hormones: Yes generally speaking if you still have your uterus, you must have estrogen and Progesterone if treating symptoms of menopause. Only individuals with a hysterectomy can take unopposed estrogen therapy.
