Will Almoranas (Hemorrhoids) cause you to fail your medical?

[pk505 1]

My fiance has a small Almoranas/Hemorrhoid, about the size of a marble, can this cause her to fail her medical? Will they tell her to have it treated and then come back for another medical? I know Almoranas/Hemorrhoids are common, in my opinion, it should not cause her to fail her medical, but we do not want to take any chances.

NO...

The medical is looking for infectious diseases, that pose a threat to the health of residents of the USA.

its not a communicable disease. and its not even treatable. she just have to modify lifestyle and if its getting in her way, have it cut by a surgeon. so i say. it will never cause her to fail on the medical. by the way. i am a nurse.

I agree with the statement above...tell her to be honest to the doctor during her medical interview..they would ask her regarding any past medical conditions...don't worry, she will not fail..it's not a communicable disease..btw, tell your fiance to avoid eating spicy foods..and indeed, change her lifestyle & stay healthy prior to her medical..God bless!!

She just have to modify lifestyle ...

No more rumpshaking?!

Ya know, you don't need to have a lifestyle that requires changing to get/live with hemorrhoids. Having chronic irregular bowel movements or even just pregnancy can cause them.

But +1 to the other part of the answer: not a medical fail point.

As far as I can tell, the deal-breakers at St. Lukes are tuberculosis, illegal drug use, and mental illness.

Tuberculosis is treatable, but it will delay your visa for about nine months. Illegal drug use will get you a lifetime ban from the U.S. I'm not really sure what they do about mental illness.

forgive me if my statement was so broad, if i may be more specific, an increase in the intra abdominal pressure increases the tendency of the hemorrhoids to get worst. eating healthy, increasing bulk in the diet, abdominal exercise, a more predictable non -restraint bowel movement, and increase fluid intake may decrease the hemorrhoids and prevent it from becoming worst. it is therefore inevitable for women who are pregnant. but that does not mean, all pregnant women get hemorrhoids. . Increasing the muscles of the abdominal helps to decrease the hemorrhoids, a hot sitz bath is recommended if it sores and become swollen. Kegels exercise tightens the external ####### sphincter muscles. hope its clearer now.. happy new year.
