Can coconut oil help with vaginal atrophy naturally?

Coconut oil can provide temporary moisture and comfort for mild vaginal dryness or discomfort, but it is not a proven treatment for vaginal atrophy and should not replace medical therapy for moderate or severe symptoms.

Clinical Context

Coconut oil may relieve mild dryness but does not treat underlying hormonal causes or restore vaginal tissue health.

Evidence-Based Approaches

UK menopause guidelines recommend evidence-based moisturisers and local oestrogen over home remedies. RCOG: Safe Treatments.
