Smartphone use in toilet increases risk of 'piles': research

In today's digital age, it has become a common habit for many to use their smartphones in the toilet, but this seemingly harmless practice has serious negative effects on both physical and mental health. 

Medical experts warn that taking phones to the toilet can lead to a range of health issues.

Germs and Diseases:

Phones can carry germs even after leaving the toilet, which can then be transferred to other people and surfaces. This increases the risk of contracting diseases like cholera and intestinal diseases.

Constipation Risks:

Using a mobile phone in the toilet can lead to constipation as this habit makes the body accustomed to staying in the toilet for a long time. 

Over time, spending too much time in the toilet keeps us focused on our phones, which affects the body's bowel function and increases the risk of constipation.

Mental Health Concerns:

The constant mental stimulation from accessing videos and information on phones can also increase stress levels, keeping the mind constantly active.

Piles and Urinary Tract Inflammation:

Spending too much time on the toilet increases the risk of diseases like hemorrhoids, also known as piles. 

Sitting for too long on the toilet increases the pressure on the lower body, increasing the risk of hemorrhoids and urinary tract inflammation.
