Western toilet or English toilet is considered to be the gift of the British. Earlier it was used by the royal family of Britain and since then disabled or arthritis patients started using it. Western toilets provide a more comfortable position to clean the stomach and this is the reason why toilets in most homes are made in Western or English style nowadays. But the advantages of western toilets have become the biggest enemy. Yes, comfortable western toilets are becoming the cause of many diseases while being harmful to health. Today we are going to give you information related to this. Let's know about the disadvantages of using the western toilet...
Constipation
It is very important to have the correct position of the body while cleaning the stomach. Sitting on the Indian toilet seat puts pressure on our entire digestive system, due to which the stomach is cleaned properly. But, sitting on a western toilet puts less pressure on the muscles of the stomach and anus, due to which the stomach is not cleaned properly and the problem of constipation starts.
Legs and knees are weak
Indian toilet seats are such that all the emphasis was on the feet and knees. In this way, when we used to sit squatting, a flow of blood starts in the feet, but due to the western toilet, nowadays there is no breath in the feet.
Urine infection
Using a western toilet increases the risk of UTI infection. Using tissue paper in a western toilet, if feces or a small piece of tissue paper enters the vagina, the chances of infection increase significantly. According to research, using western toilets increases the risk of infection in women by 78.2 percent as compared to Indian toilets.
Piles
The problem of constipation can turn into a chronic disease due to the continuous use of western toilets. In such a situation, there is a lot of stress on the muscles of the anus while passing stool. Straining to clean the stomach causes swelling of the veins of the lower rectum and anus, which leads to the formation of piles.
Appendix
Western toilets may be comfortable to sit on, but their use can also lead to various problems. To pass stool in the western toilet, a lot of force has to be exerted on the stomach. In such a situation, due to this pressure on the stomach, the risk of the appendix also increases considerably.
Fisher
Always using a western toilet to clean the stomach can lead to fissure problems. In fact, in piles, the tissue of the anus gets torn due to hard bowel movements, which becomes an anal fissure. Similarly, using the water jet of a Western toilet can cause the swollen vein or tissue to burst due to the high pressure.
How to prevent these diseases
Experts consider the use of desi toilets beneficial to clean the stomach. Because in this, you are sitting in a squat position. But if you are using an English toilet for any reason, then keeping your feet on the toilet stool prevents constipation and piles. This stool should be just high enough to give your rectum a 30-degree angle.
