Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Don’t sit on the toilet for more than 10 minutes, doctors warn
How long do you sit on the toilet when you try to poop? Do you bring your phone or magazine to the bathroom with you when you’re going number two? That’s not good for your health, according to experts. If you sit on the open oval-shaped toilet seat for a long time, your buttocks are compressed and the blood circulation is affected, which could increase the risk of hemorrhoids. Also, prolonged sitting on the toilet could increase the risk of rectal prolapse, a condition when part of the large intestine slips down inside the anus. So, avoid sitting too long on the toilet or forcing stools to come out. The keys to pooping smoothly are diet, exercise, hydration, and bowel movement, not prolonged time or pressure in the toilet.
Read the article and learn how unhealthy to sit too long on the toilet seat.
