- Hemorrhoids affect millions of Americans each year, and sitting too long on the toilet is among the hidden triggers
- Using a smartphone in the bathroom raises hemorrhoid risk by 46% because it keeps you seated longer without pelvic support
- People who use their phones are far more likely to sit over five minutes per trip, even though many don’t realize their habit is adding time
