"David, you have been in the bathroom for half an hour. Why don't you come out?" David's dad put down the newspaper and went to the bathroom. "Dad, I'm reading Harry Potter!" David shouted, "I just finished this chapter and coming out!" With that, he quickly put the novel on a chair, then pressed the flush button and ran out of the bathroom. David's mom heard their conversation in the kitchen and said, "David, if you sit on the toilet too long, you may get sick."
David walked to his mom and asked curiously, "Mom, what kind of sick?" Mom put down her work and asked, "Did you feel anything special when you stood up?" David scratched his head and answered, "I was just absorbed in reading. Dad suddenly called me. I was startled and immediately stood up. All of a sudden I felt dizzy, but I recovered a little while. My legs were so numb that I almost couldn't stand."
Hearing that, mom smiled and explained, "When you sit on the toilet, reading novels and enjoying your 'toilet time', many diseases are on the way for you. After sitting on the toilet for a long time, the blood of your body will slowly flow to and remain in the lower limbs. Then if you suddenly stand up, there isn't enough time for blood to flow to the brain and the 'postural hypotension' occurs. So you may can't stand on your own feet and feel dizzy, or even faint. It's dangerous."
David immediately asked, "Mom, is it not easy to get dizzy if I stand up slowly?" "Yes," Mom nodded and continued, "You can prepare yourself before stand up, such as gently move your thighs. This will help the venous blood return to the heart and raise blood pressure. However, it's best not to sit on the toilet for too long. A normal bowel movement should be a very short occurrence. Usually, you can poop within one minute and if you have no urge to poop more than three minutes, you should come out the bathroom."
David suddenly thought of an advertisement he saw on TV yesterday and asked, "Mom, what is hemorrhoid?" At this time, his dad just came from the bathroom and heard their conversation and said to him, "I know it best. If you sit on the toilet for a long time and have no urge to poop, but you try again and again, then the pressure in the hemorrhoidal veins will keep rising. When these veins swell, enlarge and deform, hemorrhoids would occur. Hemorrhoids are troublesome and cause pain when you are standing, sitting or pooping."
"So horrible!" David rushed into the bathroom and took out his novels and said, "I'll never take novels into the bathroom again and will poop as quickly as possible!"
