You might think piles and anal fissures are “old people problems,” but the truth is very different. Today’s young adults, constantly glued to their phones, surviving on late-night snacks, and sacrificing sleep, are increasingly at risk. The culprit isn’t just bad luck — it’s a combination of modern lifestyle habits that directly affect the delicate anatomy of the anal canal.

How Mobile Phones Are Making Your Bum Pay the Price

Spending 10–20 minutes scrolling Instagram, TikTok, or chatting on WhatsApp while on the toilet may feel harmless, but anatomically, it’s a problem. Prolonged sitting on the toilet creates excessive pressure on the hemorrhoidal veins inside the anal canal.

Here’s what happens step by step:

1. Prolonged Sitting → Increased Venous Pressure

The veins in the anal canal normally act as cushions to support stool passage. Extended sitting compresses these veins, slows blood flow, and causes them to swell — forming piles.

2. Straining + Hard Stool → Micro-tears

Many people also strain while scrolling, delaying bowel movements or ignoring urges. This increases intra-abdominal pressure, stretching veins further. In some cases, the hard stool tears the anal lining, creating a fissure.

Late-Night Food & Digestive Chaos

Late-night snacks — instant noodles, burgers, pizza, and oily foods — disrupt digestion and lead to constipation. Here’s the connection:

• Spicy or fatty foods irritate the gut lining → slower transit of stool.
• Low fiber content = harder stool.
• Holding stool due to busy schedules → pressure on the anal canal → worsening piles and fissures.

Anatomically, this repeated straining damages the mucosa and submucosal veins in the rectum, causing inflammation, bleeding, and pain.

Sleep Deprivation: More Than Just Tired Eyes

Skipping sleep doesn’t just make you groggy; it directly affects bowel health. Poor sleep leads to:

• Slower gut motility → constipation
• Weakened blood circulation in the lower body → swelling of anal veins
• Increased stress hormones → higher risk of inflammation

So binge-watching late into the night isn’t just bad for your grades or work — it’s silently contributing to piles and fissure.

How These Factors Combine to Create Pain

Think of it like a chain reaction:

Late-night food → constipation → straining → prolonged sitting with phone → swollen anal veins → micro-tears → bleeding & pain → stress → poor sleep → slower healing

This explains why so many young adults experience itching, burning, bleeding, and pain while sitting or using the toilet.
