A member asked:
Should a fleet enema (sodium bisphosphate) burn when i use it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Enemas should not be painful. It is possible it was inserted in such a way that it caused a mucosal tear or fissure. Do not try using another enema until you have been evaluated by your doctor.
