Playing with your phone while going to the toilet will distract you, making defecation difficult. If going to the toilet is often delayed like this, the body will be affected, constipation will occur.
- Hemorrhoids
Playing with the phone in the toilet will prolong the time of defecation, forcing you to sit for a long time, causing anal obstruction. Sitting too long in the toilet position can cause rectal varicose veins, causing hemorrhoids or diseases such as rectal mucosal peeling.
- Numbness in the legs
Sitting in the toilet position for too long causes blood to flow down, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain. Many people will feel dizzy if they stand up suddenly. Not only that, the amount of oxygen supplied to the cells is not enough, leading to numbness in the legs.
