I've been dealing with hard stools and recently got a painful pimple in my butt crack that hurts every time I use the toilet. It went away after about two weeks but seems to have come back after a month. I drink a cup of coffee daily and I've been doing this for the past 8 years. Could coffee be causing this issue? I also have seasonal allergies and have been taking levocetirizine 5mg daily for about 3 years. Could either of these be contributing to my problems?

The recurring painful pimple in the butt crack, accompanied by hard stools, could be related to anal fissures, hemorrhoids, or perianal abscesses, potentially exacerbated by chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, or irritation from coffee consumption; levocetirizine may also contribute to dry, hard stools, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist

View allI'm really struggling with some gastric issues that have been ongoing for about two years now. Every time I eat lunch, I experience acidity and gastric problems, and then a few minutes later I get a headache, usually on either the left or right side. I've already gone through an endoscopy and ultrasound, but both reports came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next and would really appreciate some guidance. How should I approach this?
take medicine
