My CT scan from 6 months ago showed a few tiny calculi and I'm diabetic. For the past 23 months, I've been dealing with bloating, acidity, and constipation. Is surgery something I should consider for this?

I've been having this burning sensation around my rectum for a few days now, and I'm a bit worried. My meals have been pretty spicy lately, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. I've been drinking plenty of water, so I'm not sure what else could be causing it. Do you have any advice on how I can make this go away?
