Stool (Routine Examination)

Stool (Routine Examination) is a diagnostic test used to analyze stool samples for infections, digestive disorders, and overall gut health. It helps detect abnormalities like blood, mucus, parasites, bacteria, and undigested food in the stool, aiding in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal conditions.

This test is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, or unexplained weight loss. It is also useful for identifying infections, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), malabsorption disorders, and other gastrointestinal issues.

A stool sample is collected and examined for its color, consistency, presence of blood, pus cells, and microorganisms. The results help doctors diagnose digestive disorders and determine the need for further tests or treatments. No fasting is required, making it convenient for patients.

This test is suitable for all age groups, from infants to the elderly, as digestive issues can affect anyone. It is particularly useful for children, elderly individuals, or those with chronic digestive problems. Since stool abnormalities can indicate underlying health conditions, consulting a doctor for interpretation and appropriate treatment is recommended. Proper hygiene and dietary changes may be suggested based on the results to improve gut health.
