Is your bathroom scrolling habit silently harming your health?
New research reveals a concerning link between prolonged phone use on the toilet and increased hemorrhoid risk. A recent study published in CNN suggests that using your phone while you poop significantly elevates this risk.
Specifically, experts estimate that extended toilet time with smartphone use could contribute to a rise in hemorrhoid cases, impacting millions. Doctors are now advising limiting phone use, like TikTok, to just two minutes to mitigate potential issues, as reported by The Guardian.
This growing concern highlights the need for mindful bathroom habits and prioritizing gut health. Further research will explore preventative measures and long-term effects of this increasingly common behavior.
