Overview of the Fecal Occult Blood Test

Also known as a stool occult test in Agrasain Colony, Sirsa, FOBT is a non-invasive method to screen stool samples for blood that is not visible to the naked eye. This test in Agrasain Colony, Sirsa is commonly used by doctors to detect colorectal cancer or other underlying conditions causing blood in the digestive tract. Fecal occult blood is caused by slow bleeding inside the gastrointestinal system – lower or upper part. While the colour of the stool is not red due to slow bleeding, the blood can only be seen through the occult blood test in Agrasain Colony, Sirsa in the lab. Occult bleeding has most of the same causes as other types of gastrointestinal bleeding, such as ulcers and rectal bleeding. A fecal occult blood test in Agrasain Colony, Sirsa can be booked at a nominal cost at any reliable diagnostic lab in India.

Queries about this test

#1 What does a positive Fecal Occult Blood Test mean and what should I do next?

Ans: A positive result indicates hidden blood in stool, possibly from polyps, hemorrhoids, ulcers, or colorectal cancer. Follow-up with colonoscopy or further evaluation is recommended to identify the cause.

#2 Can piles or haemorrhoids cause a positive stool occult blood test?

Ans: Yes, hemorrhoids/piles can cause a positive fecal occult blood test due to bleeding. However, further evaluation is needed to rule out more serious causes like polyps or colorectal cancer.

#3 How do you collect a stool sample for a Fecal Occult Blood Test?

Ans: Collect a small stool sample using the provided kit applicator, avoiding contamination with urine or water. Follow kit instructions carefully and return promptly to the lab for accurate results.

#4 Can a Fecal Occult Blood Test detect colon cancer or polyps?

Ans: Yes, FOBT can detect hidden blood from colon cancer or polyps, but it's a screening tool, not diagnostic. Positive results require colonoscopy for definitive diagnosis and further evaluation.

#5 Does a negative Fecal Occult Blood Test rule out digestive problems?

Ans: No, a negative FOBT doesn't rule out all digestive problems. Some conditions bleed intermittently or minimally, so negative results don't guarantee absence of polyps, cancer, or other GI issues.
