I always wondered why sitting on a chair didn't cause piles, now I know.
<<Prolonged sitting in general has not been linked to developing haemorrhoids.
However, a standard toilet seat – unlike a chair or couch – has a large internal opening that provides no support for the pelvic floor (the group of muscles and ligaments that support the bladder, bowel and uterus).
Prolonged sitting on a toilet seat is believed to increase pressure inside the pelvic floor and lead to blood pooling in the vascular cushions of the anus. This makes haemorrhoids more likely to develop.>>
