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

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.
