Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Pregnancy is the conditions of immunosuppression so there is chance of infection caused by this in pregnancy increases more.

Candida infections usually occurs when ever there is immunosuppression like pregnancy, diabetes, HIV etc.

The treatment given to you by the doctor was right, you should continue the treatment.

No it will not transfer to your baby if you take the complete course of the treatment.

Please maintain the good hygiene as it is equally important in treating the infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
