People (mostly men) love to read on the toilet. It’s relaxing and peaceful to sit and back enjoy the solace.Β Reading allows a person to relax and not force it. But sadly there are dangers to this.
(Could a man finish an encyclopedia series on the toilet in his lifetime?)
According to Dr. David Gutman, founder and lead physician of Advanced Hemorrhoid Specialists, “Hemorrhoids are derived from anatomical structures called anal cushions β like small balloons β embedded within the wall of the anal canal. When abdominal pressure is increased, these cushions instantly fill with blood to form a hydraulic seal to help prevent leakage.
“If the anal cushions become stretched out or get irritated, they are called hemorrhoids and can cause bleeding, itching, pain, and the protrusion of tissue through the rectum.”
He suggests that if you want to read on the toilet you finish, wipe and then site on the lid which is pointless.Β Even if the word about this gets out about this it’s hard to imagine that reading on the toilet will become uncommon.
