There are days when a few minutes in the toilet with the door closed – perhaps locked – offer a welcome break from the intense and pressing daily routine.

It is common for an exhausted parent to “hide” for a few minutes in the toilet trying to get rid of time for himself.

However, the time we spend in the toilet has begun to become a more serious medical issue, as people leave books and magazines and are endlessly cracking on their cell phones.

Experts warn that sitting more time in the toilet than earlier – something most people do with the cellphone – can increase the rates of hemorrhoids, according to the scientific journal PLOS ONE.

The new research is giving tangible evidence of something that many have been suspected for a long time: people lose the feeling of time in the bathroom when they have their cellphone with them, Dr Trisha Pasricha, the main author of the study, gastroenterologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts General and Massachusetts General.

All of this unstoppable sculpture adversely affects people’s health.

“The whole business model of these social networking applications is based on distracting us, making us lose the sense of time and adding us to the algorithm,” Pasricha said. “Just now we begin to understand how much smartphones and other aspects of our lives are affected.”

Hemorrhoids are often associated with prolonged sitting position. However, the risk is greater when one sits for a long time in the toilet. The open seat of the toilet exerts pressure on the rectum area, holding the body to a lower position than if you were sitting in a chair. Over time, this increased pressure can cause blood accumulation in the rectum.

In addition to the most time spent sitting, the use of a mobile toilet can increase the risk of hemorrhoids and due to poor posture.

Dr. Hima Ghanta, colon surgeon at Holy Name Medical Center in New Jersey – who did not participate in the study – said people tend to bend when they look at their cellphone, which is not ideal for defecation, as the rectum and the anus form a curve. The seat position in a deep seat is more suitable for smooth emptying.
