Don’t Sit On The Toilet For More Than 10 Minutes, Doctors Warn

Dr. Farah Monzur, an assistant professor of medicine In New York, advises spending only five to ten minutes on the toilet to avoid health complications associated with prolonged sitting. Gravity can cause increased pressure on blood circulation while sitting on a toilet, leading to enlarged blood vessels, increased risk of hemorrhoids, and strain on the anorectal organs and pelvic floor. Dr. Lance Uradomo also suggests avoiding distractions like phones and books in the bathroom to prevent excessive time spent on the toilet, as prolonged sitting can lead to unhealthy straining and complications.
