When is the Stool Occult Blood Test Prescribed?

The stool occult blood test is commonly prescribed to screen for and help diagnose a range of gastrointestinal and other help conditions. Healthcare providers may recommend the occult blood test under the following circumstances:

Routine Screenings

The faecal occult blood test is often included in routine screenings, especially for individuals above a certain age or those with a family history of gastrointestinal disorders. Routine testing helps detect occult bleeding early on, even in the absence of visible symptoms.

Gastrointestinal Symptoms

If one is experiencing symptoms such as unexplained abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss, then they may be asked to undergo a stool occult blood test. These symptoms may be indicative of gastrointestinal issues, including colorectal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel diseases.

When searching for “stool occult blood test near me”, it is better to choose a trusted NABL-accredited lab such as Max Lab to get the test done. One can even opt for at-home collection with Max Lab. One will be provided with a faecal occult blood test kit or a container by the lab with instructions on how to use it. Once the sample is collected, it will be sent to the lab for examination. There may be times when there are other tests prescribed along with the occult blood test, and the cost of the stool occult blood test will depend on whether there are other tests that have been ordered.

Time Required for Stool Occult Blood Test Report + Next Steps

Once the sample has been collected, it will take around 24–48 hours for the test report to be generated. After downloading the report from Max Lab’s website or collecting it in person, it is important to consult one’s healthcare practitioner who will be able to fully understand what the result of one’s stool occult blood test means and prescribe the further course of action.
