Stool routine is a test that many people are reluctant to undergo because they feel embarrassed and unnecessary, and they would never be patient enough to undergo a stool routine test unless they have a medical emergency as a last resort. In fact, there are many diseases that can be detected by stool routine. What diseases can be detected by routine stool test? A routine stool test checks the number of white blood cells, pus cells, red blood cells and parasitic eggs in the stool, and if the number is higher or lower than normal, a disease may be present. Common diseases that can be detected by routine stool tests include: inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal cancer, ulcers, cirrhosis, polyps, and bleeding caused by biliary tract diseases. Which people need routine stool examination? 1.If there is frequent occult blood in the stool, besides hemorrhoids, it may be gastrointestinal bleeding caused by cirrhosis, ulcer, malignant tumor of gastrointestinal tract, etc., you must pay attention to it and go to the hospital for examination in time. 2, stool for a short time too hiccup or too hard, are not normal, may be food poisoning, acute gastroenteritis, pseudomembranous enteritis, etc.. 3, stool with mucus or pus blood, may be suffering from large and small intestinal inflammation, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, rectal cancer, dysentery, etc., need timely examination, timely treatment to do. 4.If the stool suddenly becomes thin, or difficult to use the toilet, it is likely to be rectal cancer, because rectal cancer will cause the rectum to become narrow, and it will be difficult to stool. 5.If the stool is in the form of rice soup or milk, it is usually suffering from cholera, etc., which needs to be isolated and treated in time. What is the use of stool routine examination? 1, stool test can be found in the stool of parasitic worms. 2, stool occult blood test refers to the digestive tract bleeding very little, the naked eye can not see the color of blood, and a small number of red blood cells are digested and decomposed so that the microscope can not find the bleeding condition. It is a test used to check the hidden red blood cells or hemoglobin in the stool. It is a very useful diagnostic indicator for detecting gastrointestinal bleeding. The fecal occult blood test is often positive in cases of peptic ulcer, drug-induced gastric mucosal damage, intestinal tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, colonic polyps, hookworm disease, and gastrointestinal tumors such as gastric and colon cancer. Fecal occult blood test can be used as the first choice index for GI tumor screening. It is especially valuable for early detection of gastrointestinal malignancies in middle-aged and elderly people. In addition, the fecal occult blood test in patients with epidemic hemorrhagic fever also has a positive rate of 84%, which can be used as an important corroboration of the disease. 3, leukocyte examination can detect inflammation, leukocytes are not seen or occasionally seen in normal stool, mostly in specimens with mucus, mainly neutrophil granulocytes. Small intestine inflammation when the number of white cells is small, uniformly mixed in the stool, and because the cells are partially digested and not easily identified. In the case of inflammatory colitis, a large number of white blood cells or pus cells appearing in piles can be seen, and small phagocytes swallowing foreign bodies can also be seen. 4, red blood cell examination can detect lower gastrointestinal bleeding, such as dysentery, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, rectal polyps, acute schistosomiasis, etc. 5.If a large number of epithelial cells appear in the stool, it means that there is inflammation in the intestinal wall, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, ulcerative intestinal cancer, etc.; a large number of phagocytes can be found in ulcerative colitis or bacterial dysentery. In addition, tumor cells and fatty droplets can be found in the stool examination.
