Why Smartphone Use on the Toilet Increases Hemorrhoid Risk

From Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health Dr. Mercola

Hemorrhoids affect millions of Americans each year, and sitting too long on the toilet is among the hidden triggers
Using a smartphone in the bathroom raises hemorrhoid risk by 46% because it keeps you seated longer without pelvic support
People who use their phones are far more likely to sit over five minutes per trip, even though many don't realize their habit is adding time
Younger adults are the most frequent toilet phone users, meaning their risk of hemorrhoids builds earlier in life
Simple changes — like leaving your phone outside the bathroom, adjusting toilet sitting positions, staying hydrated, and walking daily — help prevent painful flare-ups
