If you take the phone to the toilet and spend more than 10 minutes scrolling, then be careful. Experts say that sitting on the toilet for a long time can be harmful to health. According to Dr. Lai Jue, a colorectal surgeon at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the US, sitting on the toilet for a long time causes problems with blood circulation and can increase problems like piles.

According to Dr. Farah Monjur, Assistant Professor and Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, no more than 5 to 10 minutes should be spent on the toilet. Sitting for a long time puts extra pressure on the nerves around the stomach and anus, which can cause the veins there to swell. In such a situation, the risk of piles and other problems increases.

Sitting

on the toilet for a long time can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, which makes it difficult to pass stool. In addition, sitting for long periods of time also increases the risk of rectal prolapse, in which part of the large intestine can come outwards.

Why should you stop using your phone in the toilet?

Dr. Monjur says that by taking phones or books to the toilet, a person spends more time. This creates unnecessary stress in the body. He suggested that the toilet should be made as unintersting as possible so that people come out quickly. After sitting in the toilet for more than 10 minutes, you should get up comfortably and walk for a while. This activates the abdominal muscles and facilitates movement.

According

to experts, drinking enough water and eating fibre-rich food makes bowel movement easier. Drink 2.7 to 3.7 liters of water daily and take 14 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories in food. This can relieve problems like constipation. Experts say that if you are constantly constipated or taking more time in the toilet, then the doctor should be contacted.
