What is Occult Blood - Stool?
This test looks for tiny amounts of blood in your stool that cannot be seen with the eye. Finding hidden blood can be an early sign of problems in the digestive tract. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does Occult Blood - Stool measure?
It is used to screen for colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps. It can also help detect ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, or bleeding from hemorrhoids. Doctors use a positive result to decide on further tests, usually a colonoscopy, or to monitor known digestive conditions. Some versions require dietary or medicine guidance before collection.
What symptoms suggest Occult Blood - Stool may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Occult Blood - Stool when a patient reports hives or skin rash, nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, asthma symptoms triggered by specific exposures, and digestive symptoms after eating specific foods.
