About the Book

We laugh about it, we do it, and now science has confirmed it: scrolling on your phone while sitting on the toilet raises your risk of hemorrhoids. But behind the chuckle-worthy headlines is a bigger story-one that reveals how our devices are reshaping health in ways we rarely notice until it's too late. Flush the Scroll (working title) takes readers on a journey from the bathroom stall to the broader public health stage. Drawing on new research, medical insights, and cultural critique, it shows how a simple habit-lingering on the toilet with a glowing screen-connects to some of the most pressing health challenges of our time: sedentary living, posture problems, digital addiction, and the hidden costs of constant connectivity. With sharp wit and clear science, the book unpacks: Why toilet scrolling increases hemorrhoid risk by 46%. How smartphones turn every "short break" into prolonged stillness. The economics of hemorrhoids-millions of doctor visits and nearly a billion dollars in costs each year. The rise of tech-driven ailments: text neck, gamer's thumb, screen fatigue, and more. Practical steps for prevention-from toilet stools to digital hygiene habits. Why reclaiming the bathroom as a phone-free zone is about more than gut health-it's about reclaiming control over our bodies, time, and attention. Both laugh-out-loud and dead serious, this book argues that "toilet scrolling" isn't a silly side effect of modern life-it's a symbol of how technology reshapes us, for better or worse, in the most private corners of our lives. And it offers a way forward, starting with one simple step: leave your phone outside the bathroom.
