No: Having your period or not will have no effect on duration of your kidney infection. Much more likely for kidney infection to affect the timing or duration of a period. Most kidney infections treated with 10-14 days of antibiotics. Duration of symptoms variable depending on infection severity but not uncommon to take a while to get your energy level back and feeling 100% again. Monitor for relapse.

UTI: It should not affect the duration of the uti.
