A new study reveals a surprising link between smartphone use on the toilet and hemorrhoids. Researchers found that people using phones in the bathroom were 46% more likely to have hemorrhoids. Prolonged sitting strains the pelvic floor, and smartphones encourage extended bathroom breaks. Experts recommend limiting toilet time to 5 minutes. While hemorrhoids aren't always serious, they can be uncomfortable and cause bleeding. The study highlights the potential negative health consequences of excessive smartphone use, especially in younger adults.
