Stool testing is an important diagnostic tool used by doctors to identify a range of health conditions. Stool tests are non-invasive, cost-effective, and provide fast results that can help diagnose and treat a wide variety of medical issues. Here are some of the reasons why doctors use stool testing: 1. To Diagnose Infections: Stool testing can be used to detect a variety of infections, including bacterial, viral, and parasitic. It can also be used to detect food-borne illnesses, such as salmonella and E. coli. Stool testing can also be used to diagnose gastrointestinal infections, such as Clostridium difficile, as well as sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. 2. To Diagnose Digestive Diseases: Stool tests can be used to diagnose a variety of digestive diseases, such as celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and ulcerative colitis. It can also help diagnose and monitor conditions such as pancreatitis and liver disease. 3. To Diagnose Malabsorption: Stool testing can be used to diagnose malabsorption, which is when the body is unable to absorb nutrients properly. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including weight loss, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Stool tests can help identify the cause of malabsorption, such as celiac disease or an intestinal disorder. 4. To Monitor Medication: Stool testing can be used to monitor a patient’s response to medication. By testing the stool, doctors can measure the amount of medication that is being absorbed by the body and determine if the medication is working. 5. To Screen for Colon Cancer: Stool testing can be used to screen for colon cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Stool testing can detect blood in the stool, which may be an early sign of colon cancer.
