If you bring your phone to the bathroom, you have a 46% higher risk of hemorrhoids.
That's what we found on colonoscopy. And it makes sense because most people shouldn't need more than five minutes on the toilet. In an ideal world, a bowel movement should take seconds, not a scroll session.
Here's what most people don't realize: colonoscopies aren't really about finding cancer. They're about catching polyps before they become cancer. That's prevention, not just screening.
And we need this prevention more than ever. Forty percent of Americans say their bowel habits disrupt their daily lives. That's four out of ten people you know struggling in silence.
Your bathroom habits matter more than you think.
Save this if you've been bringing your phone with you.
