If you are someone who sneaks at the bathroom for a little time, you can increase your chances of developing hemorrhoids.
A Recent survey Imagine that Americans spend two full days a year scrolling on the toilet. Now, New research Show that people who take their phone to scroll to social media are 46% more likely to get hemorrhoids than those who don’t.
Hemorrhoids – muscular veins in the lower rectum that can cause pain, itching and bleeding – are often linked to exercise. But hanging the toilet itself is now identified as a greater risk. Research published last week discovered that telephone users spend five times longer on the toilet, which increases the pressure on anal tissue and increases the risk of hemorrhoids. About 54% of the respondents reported the news to read, while 44% scrolled social media.
Influence hemorrhoids About half of our adults More than 50, leading to nearly 4 million doctor or there -visits annually and more than $ 800 million in health care expenditure. Although most cases solve in themselves, some require medical treatment or even surgery.
The study, published in Plos One, was aimed at participants older than 45. But in a related study of students, almost all admitted that they brought their phones to the toilet. Of course, reading the bathroom dates dating long from smartphones but browse through a shampoo bottle or “toilet book” rarely leads to the distractions of half an hour that is common at Instagram or Tiktok.
How often have you finished your company, wash your hands and then realized that you sat and scroll for much longer than you meant? Researchers recommend leaving the phone completely outside the bathroom – or, if that is unthinkable, limiting you to “two taps.”
“This study disrupts the advice to people in general to leave the smartphones outside the bathroom and try not to spend more than a few minutes on a bowel movement”, “, said in a statement. “If it takes longer, ask yourself why. Was it because having a bowel movement was really that difficult, or was it because my focus was elsewhere?”
