    What is Stool Occult Blood Test?

    The Stool Occult Blood test is a diagnostic tool for identifying hidden blood in the stool. This examination helps in identifying the causes of bleeding within the digestive tract, including conditions like polyps, haemorrhoids, diverticulosis, ulcers, and colitis. Additionally, it serves as a screening method for colorectal cancer, particularly in developed nations where colorectal cancer ranks among the most prevalent cancers affecting both genders. Early identification of this disease is vital, as it significantly enhances health outcomes. Stool Occult Blood screening has been demonstrated to reduce both disease incidence and mortality rates related to colorectal cancer. If you're located in Noida and your doctor has advised a Stool Occult Blood test, it's essential to get tested without delay. Timely testing will assist in recognizing potential health risks and facilitate prompt and effective treatment.

    Stool Occult Blood Test Parameters

    The Stool Occult Blood test evaluates a single parameter: the presence of blood in the stool sample. Finding blood in the stool is abnormal and usually indicates bleeding within the digestive tract, pointing to a potential health problem. Possible causes of this bleeding include:

    Polyps

    Abnormal growths found in the lining of the colon or rectum.

    Haemorrhoids

    Enlarged veins located in the anus or rectum.

    Diverticulosis

    The development of small pouches in the inner wall of the colon.

    Ulcers

    Sores that form in the digestive tract.

    Colitis

    Inflammation of the colon, often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

    Colorectal cancer

    Cancer that develops in the colon or rectum.

    Moreover, blood in the stool can indicate conditions such as anaemia, which results from a deficiency of healthy red blood cells in the body.

    Stool Occult Blood Test Preparation

    Before arranging a Stool Occult Blood test at home, keep the following points in mind:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no requirement to fast before the Stool Occult Blood test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can plan to take the Stool Occult Blood test at any time throughout the day.

    • Who Should Get a Stool Occult Blood Test

    This test is frequently used to screen for colorectal cancer prior to the onset of symptoms. It may also be performed if there are worries about bleeding in the digestive system due to various conditions. Furthermore, it can assist in determining the cause of anaemia or distinguishing between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which typically does not cause bleeding, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is linked to bleeding. However, a Stool Occult Blood test alone cannot provide a diagnosis. If blood is found, additional tests will be necessary to identify the cause.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Stool Occult Blood Test

    No special preparations are needed for this test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking, as they may influence the results.

    Why Take the Stool Occult Blood Test?

    Reasons for performing a Stool Occult Blood test include:

    • Assessment of Symptoms:

      • Extreme exhaustion

      • Abdominal discomfort

      • Pain around the rectal area

      • Bleeding from the rectum

    • Screening for Cancer: The test is also suggested for colorectal cancer screening in individuals who do not show symptoms but are at risk. Medical guidelines recommend that regular screenings for colorectal cancer start around the ages of 45 to 50 for those at average risk, and continue until about the age of 75. It's important to talk with your physician to find out the best timeline for screenings based on your individual risk factors.

    While this test is important for screening, it cannot diagnose conditions such as colorectal cancer or digestive issues by itself. Further investigation will be required depending on the test results.
