STOOL R/M Detail

The Stool Routine and Microscopy (Stool R/M) test is a basic yet important diagnostic test that evaluates a stool sample to help diagnose various gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. The test involves physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of the stool to detect infections, parasitic infestations, inflammation, undigested food particles, mucus, blood, and more.

This test is commonly prescribed for individuals experiencing diarrhea, abdominal pain, blood or mucus in stool, worms, or chronic digestive issues. It helps identify causes such as bacterial infections, intestinal parasites (like amoeba or giardia), and malabsorption disorders.
