A member asked:

What is this pain in buttock? from sitting on the john too long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is not healthy to: Set on the toliet for long time, it could cause hemorrhoids, because even if you're not pushing all the time, the position you're sitting in with your cheeks apart still allows more pressure on the rectal veins. Your legs fall asleep when i sit on the toilet too long which cause pressure on the sciatic nerve.
