Gone are the days of reading the shampoo bottle. Today, if you want to have a little fun on the crapper, all you gotta do is pull out your smartphone, and soon, you’ll be mad at someone online. Isn’t technology great?

There’s just one issue: All that extra time on the John is destroying your heinie.

As noted by CNN, a new study found that those who bring their phones into the bathroom report higher rates of hemorrhoids.

If you think about it, it makes sense. People tend to get lost in their phones and, consequently, spend more time on the toilet. While sitting can cause hemorrhoids on its own, the consequences are worse for those who spend a lot of time on the crapper.

Basically, unlike a regular chair, a toilet seat puts extra pressure on the rectal area and keeps it lower. This pressure can cause blood to collect in the rectum, which may lead to hemorrhoids.

So, if you want to save your bottom, leave your phone outside the bathroom — no post is worth a painful tush!
