dog hormones?

A Vet just said that my dog (3 year old female mixed breed) needs hormones and has incontinence due to her being neutered (This was done 2 &1/2 years ago)?

I don't know whether to believe this? I sure don't want to be giving my dog hormones for the rest of her life and I hate that she might actually be inconntinent forever (as does she I expect)

She had been licking her crotch (excessively) and "dribbling urine prior to Vet visit.
I believe a uninary tract infection is the cause (Vet also diagnosed the infection)

Anyone heard of this incontinence and hormones due to neutering?
