Can Intake Of Progesterone Restore Libido Post Menopause?
I am a 58 year old female whose libido has totally vanished post menopause. It was thought I could be suffering from depression and have tried three different anti-depressants, which have made no difference whatsoever. I personally think this is a hormonal problem and wonder if you feel that progesterone would be beneficial. Thank you.

Hii
In most of the case progesterone will not help to increase libido.
It is your depression which cause decrease libido and many of the antidepressant also cause side effect and alter sexual function.
Consult your doctor and get advise from it.
But progesterone will not help much.
Thank you.
