Burning Sensation

Lately I am experiencing a burning sensation in my perianal area after a morning enema. It lasts all day. Is there a special recipe or cure for this?

It could be caused by a number or things.

Have you changed anything: equipment, lube, recipe?

Even if you have not changed something, perhaps the lube manufacturer has changed it's formula or you have become sensitive to an ingredient.

Are you gentle with your insertion?

Do you have an issue with hemorrhoids?

As for a remedy, perhaps take a break from enemas and use tucks pads or wipes.

In addition to Shyjenn's questions, I have to be more indelicate and ask if you are cleaning the area well afterward, not only from your enema, but also from perspiration and body oils since it's still summertime. Use a washcloth or body brush. Soap and your hands don't clean well enough to get everything clean.

Ben,

Just a thought, you didn't say what equipment you are using,

but could you be developing an alergy to latex?

Hmmm...all good comments. The latex allergy is certainly an interesting angle. I know a bit about it from hospital issues, so that

is worth investigating, as are the other suggestions. Thanks- the process of elimination (no pun) begins.

The latex allergy is easy to determine. Grab a handful of rubber bands and hold them against your face or abdomen. See if you get a rash in a matter of minutes.

Aside from that, have you used a condom recently? That would also tell you.
