11 Mistakes You’re Making In The Bathroom (And How To Fix Them)
You sit too long
It’s quiet in the bathroom. You can actually
lock the door and sit uninterrupted with a magazine, book or, more
likely, a smart phone. But you really need to find another spot for a
little “me time.” Sitting perched in that position too long puts extra
stress on the veins in the lowest part of your rectum; if those veins
swell or bulge, it’s “hello, hemorrhoids.”
In many cases hemorrhoids usually clear up
within a week, but in the meantime, can be itchy, uncomfortable, and are
the most common cause of rectal bleeding. But if you see any bright
red spots on your stool or toilet paper after you wipe, talk to your
doctor to make sure the bleeding isn’t a symptom of colon cancer or
another serious condition. He or she may also suggest over-the-counter
creams or ointments to treat persistent and painful hemorrhoids.
