While you’re dialing a number one or two, it’s nice to sit on your phone. However, the minutes fly by. Oops, cut it off then! Your long toilet visit seems harmless, but apparently you should never sit on the toilet for more than 15 minutes!
Long on the toilet
We all do it sometimes: sitting on the toilet for a long time. It seems harmless, but now this turns out to be worse than you think. Sitting on the toilet for too long can cause unpleasant side effects. There is a good chance that you will continue to press unnecessarily while you have already done your business. You will only do a big errand if you feel the urge to do so. In that case, nine times out of ten it goes smoothly and you’re done in no time. It is therefore not necessary to sit on the toilet for longer than 15 minutes. Not even for a number two.

Health issues
Sitting on the toilet for too long causes health problems in addition to unpleasant side effects. WHUT?! Yes really. If you sit too long, you will strain unnecessarily. This can cause you to suffer from hemorrhoids. The veins on the inside of your anus then swell. Ideally you want to prevent this, because hemorrhoids are really no fun!
In addition to hemorrhoids, going to the toilet for too long can worsen your bowel movements. Spending too much time on the toilet and often taking your phone with you can make you distracted. Your body ignores the urge and withdraws the stool. In the normal situation, the stool should leave your intestines as quickly as possible, but because of your long toilet visits you become constipated. Please explain this to your doctor…
