Why Smartphone Use on the Toilet Increases Hemorrhoid Risk
- Hemorrhoids affect millions of Americans each year, and sitting too long on the toilet is among the hidden triggers
- Using a smartphone in the bathroom raises hemorrhoid risk by 46% because it keeps you seated longer without pelvic support
- People who use their phones are far more likely to sit over five minutes per trip, even though many don't realize their habit is adding time
- Younger adults are the most frequent toilet phone users, meaning their risk of hemorrhoids builds earlier in life
- Simple changes — like leaving your phone outside the bathroom, adjusting toilet sitting positions, staying hydrated, and walking daily — help prevent painful flare-ups
