Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
A new study has found that excessive smartphone use while sitting on the toilet can lead to hemorrhoids. The research shows that sitting on an open toilet bowl without proper pelvic support puts pressure on rectal veins, causing them to become swollen and inflamed. Medical experts warn that prolonged toilet sitting while scrolling through phones increases the risk of developing this painful condition.
