We are human beings and we are so much susceptible to mistakes; even in the toilets. There are a lot of mistakes we make in the toilet that we probably don't realise.
Here are 4 common mistakes people make in the toilet;
1. Staying too long
It is not advisable that you stay too long in the toilet. We all know that there are a lot of germs there and therefore taking long in there means contracting a lot of these germs.
If you are suffering from constipation then you are advised to see a doctor.
2. Wiping in the wrong direction
Especially women. A woman should wipe herself from front to back and not the opposite as this might cause infections in the vee area as a result of deposition of anal wastes.
3. Wiping too much
We don't have to use long roles of toilet papers trying to wipe ourselves clean. Just enough piece will do it.
Besides, wiping yourself for too long may cause bruises on your anal area creating irritations. Learn to wipe yourself just enough.
4. Failing to wash our hands afterwards
Almost 80% of people often forget to wash their hands after toilet business and this is too wrong.
From childhood, we have been taught to wash our hands after using the toilet but we tend to forget sometimes.
You should, therefore, make it a routine to wash your hands after the business to avoid infections such as cholera and typhoid.
