The Routine Stool Examination is the foundational, first-line test for investigating most gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss. This essential screening is a comprehensive microscopic exam that looks for a wide range of issues in a single stool sample. Our experts check for the presence of parasites (like amoeba or giardia), parasite eggs, pus cells (signaling inflammation), and red blood cells (signaling bleeding). This is the critical, broad-spectrum first step to get a clear picture of your digestive health.
