Any pain that is felt from kidney stones is often the same in both men and women. Although many times you hear about the problems with kidney stones as being intense pain in the back, oftentimes a kidney stone can pass with little or no pain. I have had, in the past, what is known as silent kidney stones. There was no pain involved, however I had dark urine which let me know that that was a problem, and some bleeding somewhere along the line.

Eventually the kidney stone passed and the bleeding stopped. Sometimes, however, the pain that is felt from a kidney stone can circle around from the back to the front. Since women tend to, sometimes, have difficulty with cramping during their menstrual cycle than it is difficult to distinguish the difference if the pain is not too severe. You would also want to be careful with the amount of calcium that you take. Many women take calcium supplements because they do not get enough in their diet, however this could cause a problem as most kidney stones are caused by a buildup of calcium in the system.
