Stool Examination R/M

The Stool Examination R/M (Routine and Microscopy) test involves a detailed analysis of a stool sample under a microscope. It checks for abnormalities related to the digestive system, allowing doctors to understand the cause of digestive symptoms. This test checks several key features of the stool, such as:

Color, consistency, and presence of mucus or blood: May indicate infections, inflammation, or bleeding in the intestines.
Pus cells or white blood cells (WBCs): May suggest an infection or inflammation in the intestines.
Red blood cells (RBCs): May indicate conditions like ulcers, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, or even more serious issues like colon or stomach cancer.
Ova, cysts, or parasites: May help detect infections caused by Entamoeba histolytica (intestinal amoebiasis), Giardia lamblia (giardiasis), or other worms and parasites.
