Stool Test

A stool test analyzes a sample of your stool to check for signs of infections, digestive issues, or conditions like inflammation or bleeding. It's often used to detect bacteria, parasites, or viruses that can cause illness, as well as to assess how well your digestive system is working. The test involves providing a small sample, usually in a clean container, which is then examined in a laboratory. Results help doctors diagnose the cause of symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or abnormal bowel movements, guiding appropriate treatment or further investigation.
