A recent study suggests a link between extended toilet time with phones and an increased risk of developing haemorrhoids or piles.
Researchers found that individuals using their phones on the toilet spend significantly more time there compared to those who don't.
This prolonged sitting puts extra pressure on anal tissues, potentially weakening connective tissue and causing vein engorgement leading to piles.
Doctors recommend limiting phone use on the toilet, ideally less than five minutes, to mitigate the risk of developing haemorrhoids.
