What is STOOL ROUTINE?

The Stool Routine test, also known as a stool analysis, examines a stool sample to check for various digestive issues. It helps identify the presence of parasites, bacteria, or other abnormalities that might be affecting your gut health.

Why is this test important?

This test is vital for diagnosing conditions like parasitic infections, bacterial gastroenteritis, malabsorption syndromes, and inflammatory bowel disease. It's often ordered when patients experience symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, or unexplained weight loss, guiding appropriate treatment.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. Collect a fresh stool sample as instructed by the collection center. Avoid certain medications or supplements if advised by your doctor.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
