When independently analyzing the groups with and without silver nanoparticles in the results of the Pap smear, we observed that there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of benign reactive or reparative cell changes between the groups before (xThrough the culture of vaginal secretion, we observed the presence of microorganisms in 88.4% (n = 38) of the samples analyzed before use and in 90.7% (n = 39) after use. Regarding the pathogenicity of the microorganisms identified before and after use, the frequencies were 16.3% (n = 7) and 34.9% (n = 15), respectively. Lactobacillus sp. were present in 55.8% (N = 24) of the samples before use and in 48.8% (n = 21) after use. Gardnerella vaginallis and Candida were also identified in 7% (n = 3) of the cases before use and in 16.3% (n = 7) after use. Among the microorganisms found, 97.7% (n = 42) did not show resistance to antibiotics before and 93% (n = 43) after using the ointment (
