Service Providers for Stool Routine Examination
A stool routine examination is a basic diagnostic test used to evaluate the general health of the digestive system. It involves analyzing a stool sample for several factors, such as:
Color and Consistency: To check for abnormalities like diarrhea or constipation.
Microscopic Examination: To detect the presence of parasites (e.g., Giardia, Entamoeba histolytica), eggs, cysts, or worms.
Presence of Blood or Mucus: To identify gastrointestinal bleeding or inflammatory conditions.
Pus Cells or White Blood Cells: Indicating infections or inflammation in the intestines.
Fat Content: Excess fat can indicate malabsorption disorders.
Bacteria: Screening for pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella or Shigella.
Results from a routine stool examination can help diagnose infections, malabsorption issues, inflammatory bowel disease, or other gastrointestinal problems. Results are usually available within 1-2 days.
