    It is less problematic in men because the man's urethra is longer than the woman's, thus it has longer to travel in a man than it does a woman and causes significantly more pain in men.

    It did when I passed mine. Not as bad as giving birth, but bad enough.

    It hurts both men and women alike, but it hurts men longer since the urethra is longer and it takes the stone much more time before it is passed.

    I had one in eighth grade. The school nurse told my mom I was faking it. I got picked up, went home and just started throwing up everywhere. My grandpa took me to get my mom and we went to the hospital.Turns out I had a stone. I had to get surgery on mine because I guess it was stuck like in my urinary tract up towards my kidney. I never had the chance to pass it, but my aunt who had twin babies said that passing her kidney stone was worse then giving birth. So if you get a kidney stone and your wife or girlfriend says, "Doesn't hurt as much as giving birth." You can slap her up haha. But don't actually beat her... just a joke.
