Stool Test

A stool test is used to analyze stool samples in order to detect a variety of health concerns related to the digestive system, including infections, malabsorption, and gastrointestinal diseases. It helps healthcare providers confirm diagnoses or rule out potential health issues.

Overview

A stool test helps doctors assess the health of your digestive system by analyzing your stool sample for signs of infections, parasites, and other gastrointestinal problems. The test can identify digestive tract diseases, blood in the stool, and issues with nutrient absorption.

This test is usually used to detect infections such as bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections that may be affecting your digestive health. Stool tests can also help identify inflammatory bowel diseases, colorectal cancer, or malabsorption conditions that may affect your body’s ability to absorb nutrients properly.

The process of conducting a stool test involves collecting a small sample of stool, which is then analyzed in a laboratory for different components, such as red blood cells, bacteria, or parasites. Depending on the test, your doctor may also recommend additional diagnostic procedures or treatments.
