Prostatitis

I ended up at the urologist on Friday. After examination I was diagnosed with prostatis. Other than a mild pain I don’t have symptoms. I have my medical today (Monday)

With that being said I have 2 questions.

1. My medical application was completed on Wednesday before I had symptoms and knew I would be at the dr on Friday. Do I have to redo it or can I just explain this to the AME.

2. Is prostatitis going to be an issue? I’ve never had it before.
 
I had it once, it was not an issue for medicals. It was scary as hell though. We figure I pissed off the organ on an unusually long bike ride.

Having said that….have you had a blood test with PSA analysis lately?

Hi Busdriver8511,

You do not need to fill out another application. You can just inform your AME at your medical visit, and they can add it to the application. As far as long term implications, the disease is typically self limited and not problematic. Once symptoms resolve and you are off any medications you should be cleared. With your event being so close to the medical you could consider taking the office notes to your medical exam.
