STOOL R/E
Stool Routine Examination (Stool R/E) is a basic laboratory test used to assess digestive health by analyzing stool samples. It evaluates the physical appearance (color, consistency, presence of mucus or blood), chemical properties, and microscopic components of stool.
Microscopic examination helps detect parasites (such as worms, ova, cysts), bacteria, pus cells, and undigested food particles. Abnormal findings may indicate gastrointestinal infections, parasitic infestations, inflammation, malabsorption disorders, or internal bleeding in the digestive tract. This test is commonly recommended for symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, or unexplained weight loss.
The test is simple and requires a fresh stool sample. Accurate results help doctors diagnose digestive and intestinal conditions, guide treatment, and ensure proper gastrointestinal health management.
