I'm really curious about whether it's okay to drink water before eating a banana or any fruit. Do you think there's any issue with doing that? Also, is there a recommended amount of time to wait between drinking water and eating fruit?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be experiencing a perianal abscess or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which can resemble a painful pimple or lump near the anus.

To confirm the diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist.

Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, as this can lead to further complications.

Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help alleviate pain and discomfort.

Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

Refrain from straining during bowel movements or sitting for extended periods.

I'm a bit confused about which type of milk is best for my health. Is there a certain time of the day when it's better to drink milk? We have access to buffalo, cow, and Amul milk here. Someone mentioned to me that cow milk can cause diabetesis there any truth to that? Can you help clarify this for me?

Regarding the type of milk that is good for health, both buffalo and cow milk are nutritious options. However, cow's milk is more commonly consumed and is a good source of calcium and protein. As for the right time to drink milk, it is generally recommended to have a glass of milk in the morning or before bedtime. Regarding the concern about cow milk causing diabetes, there is no direct evidence to support this claim. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle to prevent diabetes. You can consider consuming Amul cow's milk as it is a popular and trusted brand. The recommended dosage is one glass of milk per day for adults.
