you should start taking the bacteria "acidophilus" you can get it at a drug store and it is the natural bacteria that is found in yogurt. i have what is called "resistant yeast" and have to take it and it works great.
good luck!

You need to get out of your damp workout clothes ASAP and shower. Cotton is actually bad because it does not dry quickly - use a wicking fabric that dries quickly when you work out.
Also it may be you have a low grade yeast infection all the time that flares up when you work out because of the moisture and the over-the-counter treatments suppress it but don't completely cure it. See your gyno and get a prescription oral medication that may get rid of it completely.

What kind of underwear are you wearing? Women should only wear 100% cotton to help prevent infections. Cotton is breathable. You might be sweating too much and if you are not wearing cotton you are trapping sweat down there.
