Can you help me understand the results of my fecalysis? The color's dark brown and the consistency is mushy. There's a note about microscopic pus cells at 02 HPF and red cells at 01 HPF, but it says no parasites or ova. It mentions many bacteria too. I'm wondering if everything looks normal to you.
The reports of your fecal analysis are predominantly normal, with no presence of parasites or ova. There is however an increased bacterial count in your report, which may be indicative of an infection, depending on your symptoms.
