Pooping shouldn’t be a drawn-out process. You’re better off keeping your toilet time to less than 10 to 15 minutes, says Gregory Thorkelson, M.D., a psychiatrist in the department of gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh.
In fact, you should only make your way to the bathroom when the urge hits.
If the urge to poop isn’t there, you might be tempted to push or strain to try to get the job done.
And all that straining could lead to the development of hemorrhoids—bulging blood vessels around your anus that can become swollen and painful or even bleed.
That seems, I’m not sure the word, but not correct. You can find a doctor (any professional) to say anything.
I bring my phone and keep a book in the bathroom because I’m NOT straining. I sit down, and while gravity is doing its thing to my guts, I read a chapter. I’m not rushing or pushing or popping hemorrhoids because I’m on my phone writing a stupid comment about pooping while pooping.
I don’t think Dr Greg knows how people are using their phones in the bathroom. People aren’t reading the back of shampoo bottles because they’re in a hurry.
