Stool Examination Test
The Stool Examination Test is a simple, non-invasive test used to analyze a stool sample for signs of infections, digestive disorders, or other gastrointestinal conditions. It helps detect parasites, bacteria, viruses, blood, mucus, and abnormal fat content in the stool.
Why This Test is Done:
-
Diagnose digestive issues such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bloating
-
Detect parasitic or bacterial infections
-
Identify causes of poor nutrient absorption (malabsorption)
-
Screen for hidden (occult) blood in stool
How It Works:
A small stool sample is collected and examined under a microscope or using lab techniques to check for abnormal organisms or substances.
Sample Requirement: Fresh stool sample
Reporting Time: 1–3 business days
No special preparation is usually needed unless advised by your doctor.
