I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
**Smartphone scrolling on the toilet linked to higher hemorrhoid risk**
Scrolling on your smartphone while on the toilet may be doing more than passing the time. A new study has found **it could raise your risk of hemorrhoids by nearly 50%, thanks to the extra minutes spent sitting**.
Smartphone users were compared to non-users. Statistical methods were used to adjust for confounding factors like age, sex, body mass index (BMI), fiber intake, exercise and straining. Of all the participants, **66% reported using their phone on the toilet. Phone users spent more time sitting than non-users: 37% of users stayed on the toilet for more than five minutes per visit, compared to just 7% of non-users. The most common things people did on the toilet were read the news (54%) and use social media (44%)**. Smartphone users were younger and exercised less on average than non-users.
I wonder if it’s causative.
People who have good movements will spend less time sitting down and are therefore less likely to get their phone out.
People who struggle to pass their faeces will have to spend longer on the toilet and will be more likely to turn to their phone.
I should probably stop scrolling and wipe my arse then, i suppose
I scroll on the toilet so that I can keep my eye on the time and not spend too long sitting down
Even if you’re not actively straining, the seated position by itself increases pressure and creates venous pooling in the hemorrhoidal plexus, which increases the likelihood of venous dilation leading to hemorrhoids.
Feeling called out currently.
