"Dream - The use of sitting toilets is now common and more commonly used in homes. It is considered tidier, cleaner, and more modern."
Did you know, Dream friends, that the use of sitting toilets is actually not good for the waste disposal system?
According to research published in the Journal Digestive Diseases and Sciences, the squatting or sitting position on the toilet affects the smoothness of bowel movements (BM). Dr. Frieda Handayani, a pediatric specialist, explains based on the research that someone who uses a 16-inch high sitting toilet takes 130 seconds to have a BM, while a squatting toilet user only takes 51 seconds.
"This is because the squatting position can optimize the passage of waste through the anal canal, commonly referred to as anorectal," said Dr. Frieda on her Instagram @frieda.handayani."
During defecation in a sitting position, the anorectal area will bend, requiring more effort to pass the feces. Meanwhile, in a squatting position, the anorectal area can straighten, making defecation easier. That is the benefit of squatting during defecation. "Although a sitting toilet may seem cleaner and more luxurious, in terms of health benefits, a squatting toilet is still superior to a sitting toilet," said Dr. Frieda.

"To overcome this, Dr. Frieda recommends using a potty chair. This can be implemented when a child starts toilet training."
With a squat or footrest, children will also be more comfortable during defecation. "With this, our child's feet will not hang during defecation," said Dr. Frieda. During defecation, teach children to lift their knees from a 90-degree angle to a 30-degree angle.
"Initially, it may feel awkward, but if the child is constantly reminded, they will get used to it. The process of disposing of waste will become smoother and more comfortable for the little one."
The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The inclined body position will help relax the digestive tract so that the angle where the large intestine and rectum meet becomes loose. In the squatting position, the entire puborectalis muscle does not work, making the defecation process easier."
"From research it is also known that defecating with a squat toilet / squatting position will help maintain bowel movements, thereby preventing bloating, constipation, and hemorrhoids. "This makes us realize that the squatting position has various advantages related to body health," message from Dr. Frieda. Source: Instagram @frieda.handayani."
