A recent study found that 90% of mobile phone users take their phones to the restroom and spend a long time in the bathroom. Here are the main reasons to avoid bringing your phone to the bathroom, according to the Times of India:
1. **Germs**
You expose your phone to germs like Salmonella and E. coli when you take it to the toilet, increasing your chances of getting sick.
2. **Risk of Hemorrhoids**
Bringing your phone to the bathroom encourages you to sit longer than necessary, placing unnecessary pressure on the rectum, which may lead to hemorrhoids.
3. **Digestive Issues**
Using your phone in the bathroom leads to prolonged sitting, putting pressure on the rectum, which can exacerbate existing digestive problems.
4. **Wasting Time**
Taking your phone to the toilet in the morning results in spending much longer than you would without your phone, wasting your time and potentially causing you to be late for work.
5. **Addiction**
If you take your phone to the bathroom, there’s a high chance of increasing your attachment to it, which heightens your addiction.
