Summary
A 24-year-old man reportedly became permanently disabled after scrolling on his phone for 30 minutes on the toilet. According to Dr. Sahar Yousef, sitting on the toilet seat forces the knees and hips into an unnatural angle, putting pressure on the vasculature that supplies blood to the legs. The man stood up after 30 minutes, and his blood pressure dropped suddenly, causing him to pass out and suffer long-term damage. Additionally, a study found that people who scroll on the toilet have a 46% higher risk of hemorrhoids.
