Hemorrhoids, how bad are them from an aeromedical perspective

[Unregistered]

I suspect I might have a mild case of hemorrhoids.
I don't want to get into details as some of you might be eating at this time.

In any case, I was wondering... say I am diagnosed with hemorrhoids. I guess I would have to disclose it in the 8500 medical form. How would it be handled?, is it a non issue?, does it require an SI?
I don't think I could be incapacitated by my condition, not even close.

I appreciate any advice. Considering that roughly half the population suffers from it (maybe mostly in mild form), I assume that there should be some experience here, and the anonymous feature is particularly useful for such a sensitive topic

Generally a non-issue.

OP here, thanks for all the responses!

I guess I'll have my rear looked at, it might not be hemorrhoids, but it itches like crazy sometimes, and it's kind of inconvenient. The skin around where the magic happens feels so irritated.

Since I'm here... what kind of doctor would I have to make an appointment with for this? (no PCP, young and healthy otherwise).

Thanks again!

A general practitioner to start. If a specialist is needed the GP will so advise.
