Question 1

is masturbating while having a kidney infection bad?

Accepted Answer

Not bad: Hopefully on antibiotics for your kidney infection. It is probably not a severe infection otherwise you would't feel like masturbating.

Question 2

can having a kidney infection cause kidney cyst to get inflamed?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

might having a kidney infection delay your period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Infections can affect your hormones and menstrual cycle.  At age 48,  it would also be normal to start having perimenopausal symptoms, which means that your menstrual cycles become more irregular.  Average age of menopause is 51, but at 48 sometimes the intervals between bleeding begin to change.  I hope your infection is clearing up and you're feeling better!

Question 4

could you pick up acute kidney failure by having a kidney infection?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: If you already have problems with your kidneys that have caused them to not work normally, then an infection can make things worse.  If your kidneys are functioning normally, it would be very unlikely to have acute renal failure with a kidney infection.  Parenthetically, infected kidneys will lose some of their function, but treatment of the infection should restore things to normal.
