I just signed my job order last week as an OFW for Bahamas and I am currently completing my papers. It is one of the main requirement to have a medical exam. I am very anxious because I have external hemorrhoid due to constipation and stress eating way back when I was still reviewing for my board exam and I think this is hereditary since my grandma and grandpa also have hemorrhoids. I didn't plan to have a surgery because it is very small and it is not affecting me in anyway since I have manage to eat foods more on fibers now. Will this become a reason for me to fail my medical exam? Thank you so much.
Is having hemorrhoid a reason to fail medical exam abroad?
Medical History
I think it will not be a reason to fail the medical exam. As long as it does not affect your work and daily activities. Maging honest lang to tell your doctor about it on your actual medical examination para lamang maadvise ng tama about it.
