The most common are hemorrhoids and cracks in the anus (anal fissure), which are usually completely harmless. \u003cstrong\u003eIn some cases, blood in the stool can be a sign of more serious diseases, such as colon cancer or Crohn's disease.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you have blood in your stool, it should always be investigated by a doctor for further investigation and treatment.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOur self-test for blood in stool is a simple self-test that gives you answers right away.\u003c\/strong\u003e The test is called F-Hb. Simply put, it detects if there is blood in the stool. F stands for “Feces” which is Latin for feces, Hb stands for Hemoglobin which is blood.\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is the test done?\u003c\/h2\u003e\nIt is known that hemorrhoids do not bleed all the time. Therefore, \u003cstrong\u003estool is collected for three consecutive days\u003c\/strong\u003e to increase the possibility of detecting intermittent (recurrent) bleeding. You do the test at home by testing your stool on a special paper, then using a test stick that is dipped in the stool, this stick is then placed in a tube containing a special diluent. The liquid is dripped into a test cassette. \u003cstrong\u003eIf there are traces of blood with a concentration higher than 10 ng\/ml, the test shows positive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Note that the test does not require a special diet like many other tests.\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFact-checked 2022-06-16 by\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Doctor \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quicktest.se\/om-oss\/\"\u003eFredrik Lönnqvist\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Nurse\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Quicktest Sverige","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57375002198400,"sku":"BLO792","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9199\/2448\/files\/quicktest_blod_avforing_test.jpg?v=1770665896","url":"https:\/\/quicktest.se\/en-be\/products\/blood-in-stool-test","provider":"Quicktest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
