Doctor: Phone Use in the Bathroom May Increase Piles Risk

Bringing your phone to the toilet might seem harmless, but it can lead to health problems.

Doctors say that sitting on the toilet for too long can cause piles, which are swollen veins in your bottom.

This happens because sitting puts pressure on those veins.

When you use your phone in the bathroom, you tend to stay there longer than needed.

This prolonged sitting can make piles more likely, especially if you have other issues like constipation.

To avoid this, go to the toilet when you need to, eat healthy foods with fiber, drink plenty of water, and avoid sitting for too long.
