Stool tests should be performed within 30-60 minutes. Routine stool tests can reveal diseases of the body, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, bacterial dysentery, gastritis, colon cancer, proctitis, etc. The presence of red blood cells, parasitic eggs, and small amounts of white blood cells can be detected through a microscope. Fresh stool should be taken and not stored for too long, otherwise the stool specimen will be contaminated and the test results will be affected. If a routine stool test is performed in winter, it is best not to exceed 2 hours, and in summer not to exceed half an hour, otherwise it will lead to changes in the stool and affect the test results. There are also rules for taking stool, try not to use toilet paper, diapers, diapers on the stool, it is best to put the stool in a clean plastic bag, clean container, the stool can not be mixed with any urine inside, otherwise it will affect the test results.
