There is no causal link here. It's merely associative - it could be that people with hemorrhoids spend more time on the toilet.

One already exists. Sitting vs hovering is already known to cause hemorrhoids. Using your phone probably increases sitting time.

According to Wikipedia affluent people get more hemorrhoids, maybe they are sitting managing their money
