What Causes Hemorrhoids?
7. Sitting On The Toilet
While it is necessary to sit or squat when passing stools, we should not do so for too long because the position can put more pressure on the veins. Some people will need more time than others to pass stools than others, however.
Some people might also take trips to the bathroom as an opportunity for a break from work or other activities.
If you are taking a long time to pass stools then eating a healthy diet with lots of fiber will likely help. You should also try and prevent having extended breaks on the toilet to help prevent hemorrhoids from developing.
