Female libido is a very complex event which is influenced by numerous hormonal and psychosocial factors. It has long been known that the onset of the . menopause may be accompanied by a decrease in sexual desire in women. Reasons being discussed in this context are the decreasing level of endogenous estradiol and the reduced androgen level. Less known is the fact that intake of conventional combined oral contraceptives and progestin-only pills (POPs) way lead to an acquired loss of/decrease in libido. Disorders of this kind are subsumed under the term “acquired OC- associated hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD}”. (Blitzer: Kontrazeption und Sexualitét, Therapeutische
Umschau, Vol. 51, 19%4, edition 2, 110-114). The cause of this is not clear, various theses are being discussed. It has to date not been possible to prevent this observed phenomenon sufficiently.

The object is achieved according to the invention through the use of estradiol valerate or estradiol in combination with 170-cyanomethyl-17-B-hydroxyestra-4,9- dien-3one (dienogest) for producing a multiphase combination product or single-phase combination product for oral therapy for maintaining and/or increasing female libido.
It has been found, surprisingly, that oral contraception occurs concomitantly with the maintenance ( of and/or the increase in female libido.
Advantageously, estradiol valerate or estradiol is employed in combination with 17c-cyanomethyl-17-3- hydroxyestra-4,9-dien-3one (dienogest), comprising a first phase of 2 daily dose units of 3 mg of estradiol valerate or of an equivalent dose of estradiol (less than 3 mg), a second phase of 2 groups of daily dose units, where the first group comprises 5 daily dose units of a combination of 2 mg of estradiol valerate or of an equivalent dose of estradiol (less than 2 mg) and 2 mg of dienogest, and the second group comprises 17 daily dose units of a combination of 2 mg of estradiol valerate or of an equivalent dose of estradiol (less than 2 mg) and 3 mg of dienogest, a third phase of 2 daily dose units with 1 mg of estradiol valerate or an equivalent dose of estradiol {less than 1 mg) and a further phase of 2 daily dose units of pharmaceutically acceptable placebo for producing a multiphase combination product having a total number of 28, for oral therapy for maintaining and/or increasing female libido, where appropriate united with oral contraception.
Advantageously, also estradiol valerate or estradiol is ( employed in combination with 17a-cyanomethyl-17-0- hydroxyestra-4, 9-dien-3one, (dienogest), comprising a first phase of 2 daily dose units of 3 mg of estradiol valerate or of an equivalent dose of estradicl (less than 3 mg), a second phase of 2 groups of daily dose units, where the first group comprises 5 daily dose units of a combination of 2 mg of estradiol valerate or of an equivalent dose of estradiol (less than 2 mg) and 3 mg of dienogest, and the second group comprises 17 daily dose units of a combination of 2 mg of estradiol valerate or of an equivalent dose of estradiol (less than 2 mg) and 4 mg of dienogest, a ; third phase of 2 daily dose units with 1 mg of \ estradiol valerate or an equivalent dose of estradiol (less than 1 mg) and a further phase of 2 daily dose units of pharmaceutically acceptable placebo for producing a multiphase combination product having a total number of 28, for oral therapy for maintaining and/or increasing female libido, where appropriate united with oral contraception.
Also, advantageously, estradiol valerate or estradiol is employed in combination with 17a-cyanomethyl-17-(- hydroxyestra-4,9-dien-3one (dienogest), comprising a first phase of 2 daily dose units of 3 mg of estradiol valerate or of an equivalent dose of estradiol (less than 3 mg), a second phase of 2 groups of daily dose
