Bathroom reading and hemorrhoids?
I´ve heard that reading in the bathroom causes hemorrhoids.
Is this true?
And if so, what is the explanation to it?
Cuz I´ve read while on the bathroom for all my life without ever having had the slightest problem.

The causes of hemorrhoids include genetic predisposition (weak rectal vein walls and/or valves), excessive time (over 1 minute daily) and straining during bowel movements, and chronic bowel straining or pressure due to poor posture or muscle tone. Constipation, bouts of diarrhea, poor bathroom habits (reading on the toilet or multiple cleaning attempts), pregnancy, and fiber-deprived Western diet can all foster the conditions that cause hemorrhoids. Additional factors that can
cause hemorrhoids (mostly by increasing pressure), especially for those with a genetic predisposition, are obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and especially, vitamin deficiency.

Hemorrhoids will be caused only if you ‘force’ that ‘thing’ to come out. However, reading when you are doing your ‘business’ is not good as you will tend to spend more time in the toilet as time goes on. You should go only when you feel the need of doing so, and do it within 5 minutes.

i’ve never heard of that one before. sitting on something cold or over heating your anas area will cause hemorrhoids.
