Doctors warn: Your iPhone habit on the toilet could lead to surgery
Doctors are warning about the risks of spending too much time on the toilet—especially when using an iPhone. The habit has been linked to a rise in haemorrhoid cases, with some patients requiring surgery. Experts now advise simple changes to avoid the painful condition.
A young woman recently shared her mother’s experience after surgery for severe haemorrhoids. The cause was clear: years of sitting on the toilet while scrolling on an iPhone. The case prompted her to urge others to break the habit.
The warnings come as doctors see more cases linked to modern habits. Simple adjustments—like leaving the iPhone outside the bathroom and improving diet—could prevent painful complications. Health experts hope the message will encourage people to rethink their routines.
