Brief Answer:
Mild pain. Need not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr. Prakash HM and will be answering your query.

Dulcolax acts as a stimulant laxative. Inserting it into vagina, will cause mild irritation and mucosal damage. It will heal within three to five days.
It might cause mild pain and you can take NSAID pain killers for it. Nothing to worry.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
