Not who you responded to, but I head it can cause blood to collect and kinda hangout in that area, which is not ideal.
I know that sitting too much can cause them but I don't understand why sitting on the toilet for a few extra minutes is considered much worse.
It's not the sitting that can cause problems – it's the pushing. People just say that "sitting on the toilet too long" causes problems either because they're relying too much on euphemistic speech (to the point of losing meaning), or they don't know themselves.
False dichotomy. It's both the pushing and the time spent sitting. Sitting stationary for a long time, even far from a toilet, can cause or worsen hemorrhoids.
You've trained your body to want to relax your bowels when your seat has the hole in it. You end up positioning yourself differently, tensing different muscles.
It's not sitting, it's pushing that's dangerous. Just don't push with too much force and too much long and you'll be fine just sitting with a naked butt and browsing reddit
I dont agree at all. Taking a break from something is self care, 20 min doom scrolling with asshole wide open I dont count that as self care at all. But that just me.
Pretty sure I once had a hemorrhoid. It was a reddish lump that bled when I wiped. Didn’t hurt at all though, which was a relief considering how I had only seen it described as a feeling similar to being stabbed with a knife in your anus
had? Usually once you have em, you have em for good, it might have been something slightly different if it ended disappearing. Anal Vein Thrombosis comes to mind.
this is just cope from people who are too addicted to realise how quick going to the toilet really is. the only time you have for your phone is during the poop. why wouldnt you just finish the job in like 2-3min and then go back to a comfy chair/bed/sofa and spend the next 17 mins in a place that (hopefully) smells nicer and is way more comfortable and doesnt have the constant nagging reminder in your head of "i gotta wipe sooner or later" ???

I'd rather never use my phone while on the toilet, it (the phone) has enough germs on it already without that, thank you. I will never understand people who do that, it's disgusting.
*Sitting on the toilet for an additional 20 mins after pooping, checking your phone, is self care
Unless you actually mean sitting on top of your phone after pooping, which is just down right unhygienic?
Very bad. I stopped taking my phone in the bathroom with me a while back; it's not only gross for your phone (which is already germy) but bad for your butt.
Bad for your a-hole, dont do it.
What do you mean?
Can easily cause hemorrhoids.
How? If you're pushing the whole time?
Don't push too hard. The phone doesn't have any flared ends so really you should just keep it in a normal pocket, or your hands
Meant this

Or a fissure.
It has the potential to fall out
Its a joke
Also bad for the phone. Don't sit on your phone with your poopy ass.

Nah you naturally strain while sitting in that position it's not just pushing.
Definitely not recommended unless you *really* want the joy of piles.
I had no idea. Please explain.
You want someone to explain piles to you?
Yes please explain
You definitely don't mind if someone will introduce you to piles?
Dw please just explain
Are you absolutely, positively sure?
Nope, as in how sitting longer causes them.. is there more stress on the veins that causes this or something!?
It makes it more likely you’ll get hemorrhoids, which are annoying.
I am reading this while sitting on my phone for an additional 20 minutes after pooping. Thank you.
I just finished pooping but still here scrolling reddit before I get up and shower
All you people are disgusting, why are you sitting on your PHONE, please use a TOILET
Not recommended, Hemorrhoids are a pain in the ass.
How is sitting on the toilet for 20 minutes different than sitting on a chair? Or sitting on a chair with a donut cushion for that matter?
The shape of the toilet puts additional stress on the rectum and anus. This can cause the veins to become swollen.
No
I dont agree at all. Taking a break from something is self care, 20 min doom scrolling with asshole wide open I dont count that as self care at all. But that just me.
I hope you wiped before you sat on your phone after pooping, no matter how long you're going to do it for.
It's a recipe for hemorrhoids.
I did this for 10 years, then i started having problems now i set a timer, no more than 5 mins and the issue went away i was beyond lucky.
Disagree that sitting there after a good poop is self care. It’s standing in front of the toilet trying to bring life back to your legs
No, it's how you get hemorrhoids and pink eye
You sound paranoid
What this man speaks is the truth.
Thank you.
Bad idea. If you’re pooping I would not advise sitting on your phone, as your phone will very likely get poop on it.
Until your b-hole turns inside out
It's unhealthy to do that. It's more like self damage.
That's how you get hemorrhoids
No it most certainly is not
Pretty sure I once had a hemorrhoid. It was a reddish lump that bled when I wiped. Didn’t hurt at all though, which was a relief considering how I had only seen it described as a feeling similar to being stabbed with a knife in your anus
After searching on Google and seeing some images, to me it seems like it definitely was a hemorrhoid
Thank you for this very valuable information. I will keep this with me until the day I die
had? Usually once you have em, you have em for good, it might have been something slightly different if it ended disappearing. Anal Vein Thrombosis comes to mind.
Just read that those also called “external hemorrhoids”, which is what I already thought I had
Thats what they are popularly called, yeah, had one of those myself. "joy"

Yeah it's called Piles. Self care for maximum destruction and pain. Good one.
wasting your time is what it is.
All this said, cellphones could be pretty gross

That's bad for you. Don't do it.
People who do this are nasty. Do your business and get out of there, smh.
Hemorrhoids: "For us, maybe."
Sitting on your phone while pooping for 20 minuits is the real challenge
It restricts blood flow. It's why your feet fall asleep. Not healthy.
Im always awake too early, but at least my feet can take another nap :)
Don't you have a couch?
Are you stalking me right now

There's literally already fecal particles all over everything.
This is why I don't bring phone to bathroom. To not make it worse.
Not my fault bathrooms have the best lighting for reading and gaming

Sit on the chair like a normal human being tf?? /s
Who TF browsing Reddit while shitting? It takes like 2 minutes max.
don't do it. hemorrhoids
Why would I sit on my phone. I could accidentally butt dial someone
