“I Might Be a While” #bad

Spending more than 10 minutes on the toilet can have negative effects on your pelvic health, increasing the risk of hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, and weakened pelvic floor muscles. Sitting for extended periods, especially while straining, puts extra pressure on the veins in your rectum and anus. Over time, this can cause these veins to swell, leading to painful or itchy hemorrhoids.

Additionally, prolonged toilet sessions can strain the pelvic floor muscles, which play a crucial role in supporting your bladder, bowel, and other pelvic organs. This strain can weaken the muscles, potentially leading to issues like incontinence or difficulty controlling bowel movements. In severe cases, excessive pressure may even cause rectal prolapse, where part of the rectum protrudes out of the anus.

I am literally on the toilet rn. I feel so called out.

[JubbysDragons]

12 second? It takes me at least 3 minutes before anything comes out

[Barls]

I usually sit there for almost 10 minutes because I love to daydream there. It's quiet and relaxing

[ferret]

#bad is making me giggle. As a creature with IBS, Slow transit constipation, and gastroparesis, I only have one poo trip a week, if I'm lucky! I'll keep my phone to distract from that lovely experience 😅

[konchady]

It's also due to the design of western commode. The chair posture of western commodes doesnt make the bowel muscles as relexed, as compared to an Indian/Asian squat toilet

[xxsallsiesxx]

Never understood why people take their phone to the bathroom. 🤷‍♀️
No time for that in n out. Done 🤣😏

Guys trust me on this. If you struggle with constipation, lazy colon, sitting on the toilet forever before passing a bowl movement…Get a squatty potty. It lifts your feet into a position that immediately helps you pass a bowel movement. We’re supposed to be in a squatted position while passing stool.
I’ve had constipation problems since I was a child. I didn’t believe my gastroenterologist at first. But dear god it really does help. 😂😂

[nicotiney]

Meanwhile I’m here with horrific period shits that have me on the toilet for 3 hours😶

Tmi but it needs to be shared: if you're constipated (I have chronic constipation as I am severely dehydrated), not being able to pass your feces, please don't strain yourself. Slightly push it and if it doesn't come out, clean up and walk around. Every time I've been constipated and it didn't come out, walking or running always helped make it easier to pass.
Please drink water and don't sit on the toilet for long ❤️

[sirieprinsloo]

Going to the loo is my moment of peace and quiet. Maybe I'll just stand there for a while😅

[lisathewhitewolf]

Unfortunately, with IBS, I often don't have a choice.

[erinnyren]

“You’re probably watching this on the toilet right now.” LOL, guilty!

[Mario-forall]

Forgot to mention risk of clots in legs due to restricted blood flow

[pearl]

I never understood this. When I go number 2, I just go. Takes a minute or 2 at most and I'm done. It's like peeing when you gotta go you gotta go. But I know most people do take super long and I always I assumed most people have constipation problems. It never occurred to me that people willingly just sit on the toilet because they are distracted by their phones. Lol

[Darkflametailz]

I literally can't and never have been able to, take my phone near the bathroom lol just to gross to me.

[ur.favv.kalina]

10 minutes?!?! when i have dairy im ATLEAST on the toilet for an hour💀..

[zachm]

What about for those of us frequently exposed to food allergens and intolerances?

Is it better to wipe 20 times in an hour to stand outside the bathroom for a minute or two between bowel movements, or is it acceptable to stay seated most of that time?

Toilet paper, and bidet water, typically causes soreness and even fissures if used that often

[playedbyayo]

But what of me? I don't use my phone but I have a "dump book"😂😂..

A book I read ONLY while I'm on the seat, sigh..

Thanks Doc..I'll watch my time

[SimplyGuy-cytd]

After I was diagnosed with hemorrhoids, I don't spend more than 30 seconds on the toilet.

You only sit on the toilet when you really want to poop and you get up right after you're done.
