A lot of us these days spend a considerable amount of time sitting in the toilet, not because of poop delays but because we are busy surfing through our phone, playing games or actually reading books.
Toilets have now become like the only place where you get to break away from the commotion of life and can sit on the throne and do whatever you feel like- without any interruption.
What experts say
According to medical experts, no one should spend more than 10 minutes in the toilet. In fact, lesser the better.
It can lead to hemorrhoids
Another reason why you should limit the time you spend in the toilet is that sitting for too long can lead to hemorrhoids and protruding blood vessels around the anus. Yes, that happens.
Problem in bowel movement?
Also, if the real reason behind spending too long is toughened bowel movement, even then you must restrict your time pressuring the veins in the rectum.
