The stool O and P test is the stool ova and parasites test. In this test, a stool sample is examined for the presence of intestinal parasites and their eggs, which are called ova.
They test stool for a lot of things, but drugs, so far as I know, are not one of the things they test it for. (Mostly stool samples are tested for bacteria and blood.) To test stool for drugs they'd have to liquify it, for starters. It would just be easier to ask for urine instead of stool.
One may be referring to an heme-occult stool test - a test whereby one determines whether there is blood in the stool or not.
That would refer to having another stool test (testing fecal matter for blood).A re-test is a do over.
Negative blood in stool test means no blood was found in that particular smear from that particular stool sample. Good news.
Stool specimens should be taken to the hospital within 1 hour of collection for accurate test results.
Go to your doctor and ask for a stool analysis. If you don't have a doctor, contact Geneva Labs and ask for a referral to a doctor in your area. Geneva Labs has many parasite test kits. http://www.gdx.net/product/10139 This website can help you know what to say to your doctor and how to discuss the problem.
No you do not have to fast for it.
A fecal occult blood test would typically be used to detect the presence of blood in the stool, including melena. This test checks for hidden blood in the stool that is not visible to the naked eye, and can help identify gastrointestinal bleeding.
Stool culture is a test to identify bacteria in patients with a suspected infection of the digestive tract.
Stool DR stands for Stool Direct Microscopy, which involves examining stool samples for parasites, while CS stands for Cyst and Trophozoite, which is the test used to identify different forms of parasites in a stool sample.
