We’re pleased to share that Dr. Chethan Ramprasad, gastroenterologist at Boston Endoscopy Center, was recently featured in a national article on StudyFinds.org. The article highlights research led by Dr. Ramprasad that explores how using smartphones while on the toilet may increase the risk of developing hemorrhoids.

This research helps raise awareness about how everyday habits — even ones we don’t think twice about — can affect our digestive health. Dr. Ramprasad’s contribution brings valuable knowledge to the conversation and supports our ongoing commitment to patient education and wellness.

We’re proud of Dr. Ramprasad’s work and the positive impact it’s making in helping people make informed choices about their health.
