Can you have intercourse with a kidney infection?

I am currently taking antibiotics for a kidney infection and feeling so much pain in my lower back. My husband is being understanding, but I feel so anxious. Has anyone else tried to have intercourse during this time and did it cause a relapse? I am really scared of making it worse.

Your body needs all its energy to fight off a kidney infection right now. Engaging in strenuous physical activity like intercourse will only strain your pelvic muscles and raise your blood pressure when you need absolute rest. Focus on hydration, clean eating, and letting your body heal first.

I made the mistake of not waiting during a mild kidney infection and ended up back in the hospital with high fever and severe flank pain. Trust me, it is not worth the risk. Drink lots of water, finish your antibiotic course, and wait until you have zero pain before even thinking about intimacy.

Bilkul nahi karna chahiye. Kidney infection koi chota-mota cold nahi hai, isme body ko rest chahiye hota hai. Intercourse karne se pain aur badh jayega aur infection jaldi theek nahi hoga. Thoda sabr rakhein aur pehle doctor ki dawai poori karein.

According to my urologist, a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a serious upper urinary tract issue. Intercourse can cause friction and introduce new bacteria, complicating your recovery. The doctor advised waiting at least 10 to 14 days after completing the full course of antibiotics and getting a clean urine culture report.
