5 x Bowel Cancer Test - GP Professional Colon Health Faecal Occult Blood FOB Tests

Description:

About this item:

  • This Bowel Health Test is a rapid professional test to qualitatively detect low levels of faecal occult blood in your stool sample. Faecal blood can also be known as FOB, human occult blood, or human haemoglobin.
  • The test can detect faecal occult blood at 50 ng/ml or higher, or 6 μg/g faeces. A positive result identifying blood in your poo will be visible in just 5 minutes.
  • This could be caused by conditions such as piles (haemorrhoids), a bleeding polyp, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or bowel cancer. Usually these have no early symptoms except tiny amounts of blood in your poo, which are usually unseen and unnoticed.
  • This bowel health test will identify whether you have occult blood in your faeces in just 5 minutes, which can be a sign of colon cancer, bowel cancer, polyps, colitis or diverticulitis.
  • In the early stages, gastrointestinal problems like these may not show any visible symptoms, and can only be picked up by finding small traces of blood in stool samples, so it is very important to check regularly.

    • Typically, occult blood is passed in such small amounts that it can be detected only through the chemicals used in a fecal occult blood test.

    If blood is detected through a fecal occult blood test, additional tests may be needed to determine the source of the bleeding. The fecal occult blood test can only detect the presence or absence of blood — it can't determine what's causing the bleeding.

    A fecal occult blood test isn't recommended if you have colon cancer symptoms. If you notice blood in your stool or in the toilet or if you experience abdominal pain or a change in your bowel habits, make an appointment with your doctor.

    If you receive a positive result you may wish to investigate this further with your GP.

    IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

    Specimens should not be collected during or within three days of a menstrual period, or if you suffer from bleeding haemorrhoids or blood in the urine.

    Alcohol, aspirin and other medications taken in excess may cause gastrointestinal irritation resulting in occult bleeding. Such substances should be discontinued at least 48 hours prior to testing.

    No dietary restrictions are necessary before using the the Bowel Health Test, as unlike guaiac assays, the accuracy of the test is not affected by your diet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY WORTHWHILE ADDITION TO THE FIRST AID BOX

    Because of my age, 70, I get a test kit in the post. I think it's every two years, but not sure. Having one of these kits in the home means that, if you see anything out of the ordinary, you can self test. If it's positive, you can get straight to your GP and it could prove to be a life saver.I recommend that everyone should have one of these at home.............just in case 😊👍👍👍👍👍

    I bought these because I was very loose and concerned for a long time. I told my gp my results and from there was refered to hospital.I didnt want to initially go to Dr as there busy enough so these were a good indicator if something is wrong.
