Lekar upozorava: Nikad nemojte da sedite na WC šolji duže od 10 minuta, a u ovom slučaju odmah nazovite hitnu pomoć
Lekar britanskog javnog zdravstva (NHS) uputio je važno upozorenje o čestoj navici u toaletu, naglašavajući ključno "pravilo od 10 minuta" koje bi svi trebalo da slede.
TL;DR
- Prolonged toilet sitting, especially with distractions, increases rectal pressure.
- Toilet bowl design causes the rectum to hang lower, promoting blood pooling.
- Straining and gravity contribute to blood clotting in rectal veins, causing hemorrhoids.
- Symptoms include pain, itching, bleeding, and a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying.
- Recommendations: only go when needed, avoid straining, and limit toilet time to 10 minutes.
- Seek medical advice if symptoms persist after seven days of self-treatment or if hemorrhoids are recurrent.
- Urgent medical attention is needed for high fever, feeling unwell with fever, pus discharge, continuous or heavy bleeding, red toilet water, large blood clots, or severe pain.
