Since the increase in the frequency of sexual relations I feel irritation?
39-year-old woman
For the past few weeks, my partner and I have been having a lot of sex. Since it started, I have had vaginitis and I still feel irritated.

Hello ma'am, have the symptoms of vaginitis resolved? Do you currently have other symptoms such as discharge, pain when urinating, bleeding or other?
39-year-old woman · a year ago
Yes my vaginitis is gone. But it does sting a little on occasion and I feel a little irritated. I went to see the doctor and she said that everything is fine. That I should put a moisturizer but I don't know what to put on. And since my vaginitis I'm afraid to unbalance my ph and make another one.

Thanks for the feedback!
There are many options available to you such as moisturizers or personal lubricants like Replens or KY to name a few. They are usually effective and well tolerated and can be used as needed.
On the other hand, I suggest avoiding the use of any soap, cleanser or vaginal douche as these can dry out the area and also unbalance the vaginal flora.
I invite you to try these measures. If they are not successful, I suggest that you consult again to reassess the situation.
I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any further questions!

Are these 2 lubricants good for someone like me who can easily get vaginitis? And do I have to use a cream to moisturize myself?
And about the soap I can't wash my vulva with just water?

Indeed I only suggest water to wash off. KY is water based and Replens can be used with applicators without problems even if you have a history of infection, if you follow the usage information :)
Either can be used as a moisturizer as well.
