Available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Chennai, the Stool Examination R/M test detects and identifies parasites, ova (eggs) and cysts of intestinal parasites in an individual's stool sample. This test examines the stool sample for blood, leucocytes or mucus in the stool sample which helps to identify problems in your digestive tract including infections, digestive disorders etc., and monitor overall gut health. It is recommended when you have symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, unexplained weight loss, diarrhea, presence of blood or mucus in stool, fever, etc, suggestive of gastrointestinal infections.
For this test, collect a fresh stool sample in a clean, sterile, leak-proof screw-capped container, preferably one with a spoon. Only a small portion of about 5–10 grams (1–2 teaspoons) is needed, so avoid overfilling the container. Do not use matchboxes, paper, or other absorbent materials for collection. Also, ensure the sample is not contaminated with urine or water.

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.
