A new study shows a connection between using phones on the toilet and an increased chance of getting haemorrhoids, which are painful swollen veins.
People who use their phones while on the toilet tend to stay there much longer than necessary, putting extra pressure on sensitive areas.
This prolonged pressure can strain the tissues and lead to the development or worsening of existing haemorrhoids.
To avoid this, doctors suggest limiting your phone use on the toilet, focusing on your primary business and minimizing prolonged sitting.
