| Expected outcome 1: It is expected to find an increase in the number of superficial epithelial cells in participants in the coconut oil intervention group, as well as a reduction in the signs and symptoms observed in menopausal genitourinary syndrome. The presence of cells was verified through colpocytology collection and signs and symptoms through recording in the medical record, based on comparative analysis between pre and post intervention.;Outcome found 1: In the experimental group with 10% coconut oil, before the intervention, the average percentage of the number of superficial cells was 11.129%, while 74.35% was intermediate and 14.53% was deep. After the treatment period, the average percentage of the number of superficial cells was 18.88%, while 72.35% were intermediate and 8.82% were deep. When comparing the mean percentage of cells before and after the intervention period, the test group was significant for superficial (p-value < 0.001) and deep cells (p-value < 0.001), indicating that there was a significant change in the mean percentage of cell in the groups before and after the intervention. Regarding the signs and symptoms of menopausal genitourinary syndrome, a significant reduction in burning (69.4%), burning (62.4%), dyspareunia (48.2%), dryness (73%), vaginal fissure was observed. (53%) and itching (48.2%) after intervention with coconut oil. | — |
