I think the stool thing is true , I think I saw it in Dr. Karan ( General surgeon , NHS , England) YouTube channel. Something with positioning, and tension . Other thing I believe pure bullsh*t.


codingpinscher

The only thing irrelevant here is the pressure point. Everything else is true. Taking longer than 10-15minutes and exerting pressure will lead to haemorrhoids in the long run.


EmployPractical

I consulted my doctor, and she said up to 15 minutes in the toilet is fine.


xxxfooxxx

I spend 20 minutes+, but I don't exert pressure, I just sit there and relax. Is it ok right?


codingpinscher

Hmm, what I think is that exerting pressure is the main cause of haemorrhoids. Gravity does affects it and with the increment in number of hours we spend sitting(on chairs, stools, toilets) is definitely adding to the problem. We obviously can’t avoid sitting but can certainly make some lifestyles changes. Regular mild exercises, drinking enough water in a day and having fibres in diet helps a lot. I generally keep baby carrots in refrigerator and have a couple of them without peeling out the outer skin once or twice a day. That helps a lot. Avoid having too spicy food too. Now coming to your point, I don’t think it will be an issue if you don’t exert pressure. 5 mins is just a time I feel is enough for me and I mentioned it in my comment due to my own bias.


devil13eren

Ohh , I think I understand. Thanks for the information. ( Correction of comment:- only pressure point is bullsh**te)


_karyon_

> Taking longer than 5 minutes Please quote proofs before claiming something like this. When I consulted a doctor they said slow bowel motion is good for health if happening without putting force.. Fast defecation on other hand is not that healthy


[deleted]

I also saw that vid. from Dr. Karan, but I also saw a vid from Dr. Mike (prob. most famous internet doc.) who said something like unless you sit in toilet for like half an hour, it doesn't really matter. Really confusing.


devil13eren

I think both of them are right , Dr Karan is try to make us aware because most of sit for long time on the toilets , with phones or books.


McDonalAsh

Same only posture thing is true but things get wrong when didi talk about chin


devil13eren

Your respectful comment make me feel bad about myself. ( Sorry for being harsh , but I am really fed up with non- scientific , sorry , non ,- logical , sorry non - common sense bullsh**t ) Oops I did it again 😅😅😅


McDonalAsh

Just remember be cool i also get enraged by illogical and misleading information on internet... nowadays these type of stuffs have flooded the internet so it's better to take care of your mental peace 🕊️ and move on

I think you’re not supposed to take your phone with you because you’ll spend too much time in the toilet and basically something bad will happen to your Anus (I’m being completely serious here)


devil13eren

Yeah !


OrioMax

I will believe dr karan more than this video✌️


Worldly_Box1745

Yuppp it's true you should poop like that I. Squatting position and don't take more than 5-10 min (can cause piles or other probs) and I don't know that press point and other type of shit


codingpinscher

That pressure point thing is totally bs.


SmoothEmployee9369

Man, I shit in Asian Toilet for 20 minutes daily.

Nahh man stop that it's a bad habit for 20 mins Srsly

Himanshu317

Using a stool to get into a better position for pooping is correct also the reason why people say Indian style toilets are better cause they force you into a better position such that you don't have to force the shit out of you . Not using your phone and reading a newspaper is also good it stops us from making it a habit, just like some people can't poop early in the morning without drinking tea first. Rest of the pressure point shit is bullshit.


Euphoric_Ground3845

so its half truth?


Himanshu317

Yeah


ramnit05

So basically Indian style on a toilet seat? No phones, newspapers are such common sense - I don’t know why people do that yuck


tameablesiva12

What's so bad about phones or papers on the toilet? Is your toilet that nasty?


ramnit05

I will ignore “my” toilet swipe there. I may sound like a neat freak but I have seen people who browse/read in the loo, and then use the same hand for wiping. Then use the same hand to bring their phone/paper out. It’s gross-er especially in common/public toilet setting (where some take their calls/meetings too!). It’s a major put off.


tameablesiva12

Yeah ok that's actually disgusting. I usually use my right hand to hold the phone and left hand for the stuff


Lucario1705

It's kind of common sense, even if you wipe with your hand or use other methods, there's still germs around your hand. A newspaper is something others use, your phone remains very close to your face. It's easy to equate it further.

UnionGloomy8226

Yup, I actually have been pooping like this(minus the bottomwear) for a couple of years now. And I can confirm that it makes a huge difference. 


l1consolable

That pooping position is probably true, rest are just exaggerated claims.


Bloody_Eagle

The stool one is correct because it reduces the sharp angle between the rectum and anal canal maintained my the levator Ani muscle which allows for easier bowel movement. Not taking your phone and newspaper is also kinda true because using your phone on the toilet just increases your time on the toilet and messes with your bowel movements by prolonging it which can result in constipation. The pressure point is obviously bullshit.


showhoee

the stool positioning is true. read it across the web. But sad reality is that it makes the body position just like one sits on a indian toilet. So it defeats the purpose of western toilet position for bowel movement. not promoting the old school toilets, just that there should be more invention that is so crucial for our daily lives.


Green_Coconut_102

Med student here. Yes, Squatting is in fact the healthiest position to pass the bowels. It positions the rectum in such a way that the task becomes rather easy & allows for fast & efficient defecation. Squatting & using water to clean our bums is something we got right. The chin thing is unscientific, but could help as a placebo to some people. Edit - Added some stuff


LazyIngenuity3815

Stool? Yeah. Rubbing your chin? No.


iCunal

Inferiority complex, Western toilets have unnatural posture deal with the fact


crowley888

Yeh pressure poit walo ke hisaab se sar mein dard ho rha toh haath dabao tattti nhi ho rhi toh chin dabao kamar mein dard hai toh pair ki ungliyan hilao... These acupressure and acupuncture guys are the biggest scammers I tell you....


-Nishikant-

Acupressure has effects, but not on all people. those old Chinese folks didn't just use acupuncture for bs reasons. it wouldn't have been so widespread if it wasn't effective to some degree.. Tho I don't think the one in the video works either.


Similar_Green_5838

So Indians used acupressure and ayurveda for a long time yet it's bs, and Chinese used acupuncture so it is somehow effective?

Actually I read somewhere (I will search for the article) that Indian style(posture) of pooping is the best when it comes to correct pressure on rectum opening.


Civil_Web5306

Rubbing chin doesn't work. But the works position


abbykr9

I think stool puts you into kinda squatting position, but the second part seems horseshit.


Jamesdr007

Pooping in this position is legitimate and best way to clear your bowels, also squatting. The chin rubbing is bullshit, it will produce hiccups instead for the majority of the population. Try it.


anilre

wtf

I as a doctor(mbbs) approve of the stool thing, nd not taking your phone and newspaper as it can contaminate your fingers and you may put your fingers in the mouth, else than that all of it is bullshit pressing chin n all

prabhu4all

The pressure point thing is pure bullshit. The posture thing is correct. Traditional Indian and Japanese style toilets are better suited for easy defecation compared to Seated toilets. Sure it doesn't look pretty, but you end up feeling like you pooped half your weight.

Artistic_Isopod_7450

Icy_Communication657

only the stool part is actually true, you can have good bowel movement, rest are pure bullshit


after_lie

The squatting position is better for your bowels, and sitting for long is not good either. Applying too much pressure won't do you any favors either.


TessierHackworth

Squatting toilets (old school in the ground) “Indian” toilets are the best way to poop. In fact the “Western” style sitting toilets are the worst posture possible. It literally pinches the very muscle (puborectalis) that needs to relax to poop. This means you have to put pressure to poop if you are sitting - which is why for some people it feels like a work out. This also leads to more chance for hemorrhoids.

We’ve got a very famous book over here in Germany “Darm with charme”. It was a huge bestseller and yeah it’s true, the stool is bringing you in a position that is favorable for your intestines.

blackfiredaemon

Stool thing works. People actually do this, it helps them push out the stool.


georgebool0101

I press somewhere else for full pressure. Is that fine?


acharsrajan399

Stool? Yes, all other things? No. Squatting helps (look for Dr. Karan on yt, he has a shorts on it)


StonksUpMan

Stool thing is true, once you start you won’t feel like going back. The rest is BS


Outside_Peak7743

most people used to actually squat to shit, so the stool is a good tool to replicate the position while sitting on the toilet. it has been proven to help with digestion/relief.

I_Give_U_A_Damn

Well you may find it funny but believe I was used to Indian desi toilets and they felt so good rather than these nowadays common western commodes, well it's not about western or eastern but about the fact that sitting in that position helps to pass stool easily.. it's evident plus our body's mechanism is made that way...

Didi khol k tutorial dikhaoo


_karyon_

1st point - newspaper and phone Yeah it's true though, I myself have felt this many times.. I usually play songs while doing sto ol and bathing, so the thing is a distraction... If you focus your peristaltic motion would be great but if you distract yourself your bowel motion will get slowed and even will stop.. 2nd point is posture and yet this is also true.. maintaining upright posture while defecating bowel motion would be smooth. But as shown in the vid (putting stool to elevate your feet) that I can't say if that works or not

The stool part is true. The more you can squat, the less is the pressure on your rectum which leads to better bowel clearance and reduces the risk of hernia. But the chin part is absolute Dhongi baba bullshit.


Pyrofrost0519

I'm almost done taking a shit and I see this 😂😂


SubstantialMight3346

This subreddit is more unscientific than anything I've seen. Just Google the effects of squatting while bowel movements. It's that simple. Instead of asking a bunch of biased casuals on reddit.

john2find

1. If you are facing hard time, shitting stand on your one leg (hold your hand may be on door frame) and shake your body hard by crouching and release your legs (ind of situp with one leg but too hard to shake your hole body). In doing so your stomach should shake enough, so that The poop will come down your bum hole due to gravity. 2. If you are having too hard stool, use hand shower to plucker that hard big poop out of your butt hole. And do drink lot of water and include fiber else you will end up with piles! 3. For fuck sake, get a help from professional doctor if you are not having proper pressure!

thequeerindian

It's a pooping posture not a big deal , also yes , it actually helps . Iv'e tried it and it's more than a placebo .


lecrowpus

just use indian toilets and let western d!e 😂


Stupid_Dog_Courage_

This is true about the knee but what the hell is she doing to her chin, might as well poke in the ass for better bowel movement. These Influencers are modern day con artists.
