If you take your smartphone to the toilet, you could get a crappy condition.

No, we are not using this word lightly. Turns out chances of getting piles may go up as using the device in the loo may make you spend a longer time there, increasing the pressure on the veins of the anus in the lower rectum, health experts have warned.
