❓ Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What happens if I sit too long on the toilet?
A: Extended sitting increases pressure on the rectal veins, which can lead to hemorrhoids, reduced blood flow, and even nerve issues in the pelvic area.
Q: Why does everyone say not to bring my phone?
A: Distractions make it easy to lose track of time. What was meant to be a quick trip turns into a 20-minute social media scroll, causing prolonged pressure on your lower rectum.
Q: How can I improve my bowel movements?
A: Focus on a fiber-rich diet (fruits, veggies, whole grains), drink plenty of water, stay physically active, and stick to a regular bathroom routine—preferably after meals when your gut is naturally active.
