Stool Examination

Complete stool analysis providing comprehensive evaluation of gastrointestinal health and function. The examination includes Physical Examination (color, consistency, mucus, blood), Chemical Tests (occult blood testing for hidden GI bleeding, pH, reducing substances), and Microscopic Examination for ova (helminth eggs — roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm), cysts (amoeba, giardia), trophozoites, red blood cells, white blood cells, fat globules (indicating malabsorption), undigested food particles, and yeast/fungal elements. Stool examination is essential for diagnosing intestinal parasitic infections (amoebiasis, giardiasis, helminthiasis), bacterial infections (dysentery), occult gastrointestinal bleeding, malabsorption syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal screening. In Bihar and other endemic regions, stool examination is particularly important for detecting common parasitic infections. Collection instructions: Collect a fresh stool sample in a clean, dry container provided by the lab. Avoid contamination with urine or water. Deliver within 1-2 hours for optimal results. Reports are available on the same day.
