Taking your phone to the bathroom 🚽? Here’s why it's a bad idea

I never take my phone to the bathroom. I think it is one of the most unhygienic habits one can have. What merely starts as a casual escapism or a peaceful scroll can gradually become the reason for potential health problems.

It’s crazy how germs can spread so easily, and sitting too long can cause physical strain too. Definitely a good reminder to leave the phone out next time!

I never take my phone to the bathroom; though many people do the same, because it offers a moment of privacy, a quick break, or a chance to catch up on messages and social media. Recently I was reading a few articles, that have linked this prolonged sitting habit on the toilet (due to mobile phone usage) with increased risk of hemorrhoids (swollen veins) that occurs due to enhanced pressure put on the veins around the anal and rectal area. The awareness about the health concerns related to this habit is necessary, so that individuals can make more mindful choices about using mobile phones in such spaces.
