A member asked:

What do it mean when u douching it burns a lil bit?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chemical reaction: Whatever was used in the douche is chemically reacting with the vaginal fluids and producing burning. Douching is, for he most part, unnecessary and take this as a "hint" to stop the practice before more serious health issues arise.
