I was shocked when I found out how common external/bleeding hemorrhoids can be(Almost 3/4 adults will have them from time to time).
Then it all clicked when I realized people sit on the toilet for 15min+, which is a major contributor to that condition.
When I get hemorrhoids, it’s not from sitting for long periods. It’s due to my need for a poop bat’leth. I take Klingon sized poops.
Uppercase poops
Correct, these are most certainly, POOPS. I have Toto toilets that I bought to ensure I can flush without fear of it’s returning from Sto-vo-kor.
My wife can sit on the toilet for 45 minutes. I don't get it. I want to get on and off that thing as quickly as possible. Why do you want to hover over poo?
Not all of us have a bowel that is cooperative and timely. For some of us it is always a pitched battle of wills, a violent class struggle.
Because it doesn’t all happen at once
Yeah, but 45 minutes? Take a break and come back or something.
I'd say it's more of a revelation to me that sitting on the toilet seat itself for long periods causes hemorrhoids, than hemorrhoids being common in general.
I've been there for an hour a couple of times, I've never had it so I would never notice lol. I guess it's time to avoid it altogether.
i blame lack of bidets
It's fiber. Go buy some Metamucil and thank me later.

Damn, respect for that
shitstuff.
Do you have some suggestions for fiber rich foods too?Chia seeds. I sprinkle that shit on everything I can. Salad, cereal, yogurt, smoothies. It’s extremely high in fiber. But be careful, too much fiber can be a bad thing. Make sure to keep up your water intake!
Thanks for tips ! I'll be needing that
eating a better diet is probably better than metamucil
Let me know how you get 30 g of fiber daily in your diet and share your meal plan. I'll wait.
Pfff what? I clear 30g easy. Half a box of whole wheat spaghetti is 20g. A cup of dry pinto beans is 48g.
