10 Causes of Hemorrhoids
Cause #9: Prolonged Duration on the Toilet
There are many bad habits such as nail biting, overspending, and spending unnecessary time on the internet. Another bad habit is sitting on the toilet for a prolonged duration. Many individuals tend to read or play games on their phone while trying to defecate. A study has found that as many as 90 percent of individuals bring their phones into the bathroom.
