General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello. I don't think this is side effect of these medications and this is more likely to be some anorectal issue such as hemorrhoids or fisure and sometimes polyps or tumors of colon. It would be good to do colonoscopy to rule this out. Wish you a good health. Regards
