    What is Stool Occult Blood Test?

    The Stool Occult Blood test is an important test for detecting hidden blood in stool samples. This test aids in identifying sources of bleeding in the gastrointestinal system, such as polyps, haemorrhoids, diverticulosis, ulcers, or colitis. It is also used for colorectal cancer screening, particularly in developed regions where colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in both men and women. Early detection is crucial, as it significantly improves health outcomes. When applied appropriately, Stool Occult Blood screening has proven effective in reducing both the prevalence of disease and mortality rates associated with colorectal cancer. If you reside in Gurgaon and your doctor has suggested a Stool Occult Blood test, it is important to complete it promptly. Early testing will help detect any health issues and ensure timely and effective treatment.

    Stool Occult Blood Test Parameters

    The Stool Occult Blood test measures one parameter: the presence of blood in the stool sample.

    The presence of blood in the stool is abnormal and generally indicates bleeding in the digestive system, suggesting a possible health concern. Some reasons for this bleeding include:

    Polyps

    Uncommon growths located in the lining of the colon or rectum.

    Haemorrhoids

    Inflamed veins in the anus or rectum.

    Diverticulosis

    The creation of small pouches within the inner wall of the colon.

    Ulcers

    Open sores in the lining of the digestive tract.

    Colitis

    Inflammation of the colon, often linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

    Colorectal cancer

    Cancer that arises in the colon or rectum.

    In addition, blood in the stool may also indicate conditions like anaemia, which occurs due to insufficient healthy red blood cells in the body.

    Stool Occult Blood Test Preparation

    Before scheduling a Stool Occult Blood test at home, consider the following aspects:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is not required for the Stool Occult Blood test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can schedule the Stool Occult Blood test at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get a Stool Occult Blood Test

    This test is primarily used to screen for colorectal cancer before any symptoms manifest. It may also be conducted if there are concerns regarding bleeding in the digestive tract from various ailments. Additionally, it can help determine the cause of anaemia or differentiate between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which generally does not result in bleeding, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is known to be associated with bleeding. However, the Stool Occult Blood test by itself cannot diagnose a condition. If blood is found, further testing will be necessary to identify the cause.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Stool Occult Blood Test

    No specific preparations are required for this test. However, it is important to inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, as they might affect the results.

    Why Take the Stool Occult Blood Test?

    There are several reasons for undergoing a Stool Occult Blood test, including:

    • Symptom Evaluation:

      • Severe fatigue

      • Abdominal pain

      • Discomfort in the rectal region

      • Rectal bleeding

    • Cancer Screening: The test is also advised for colorectal cancer screening in individuals who are asymptomatic but at risk. Health professionals recommend that routine screenings for colorectal cancer begin around ages 45 to 50 for those at average risk, continuing until approximately 75 years of age. Discuss with your doctor to determine the most appropriate schedule based on your risk factors.

    Although this test is a crucial component of screening, it cannot independently diagnose conditions like colorectal cancer or other digestive tract disorders. Additional assessments will be necessary based on the findings.
