My father experienced severe stomach pain and he also suffers from constipation. Now his pain is almost gone. His blood reports of liver and kidney are normal but the stool occult blood report is positive. What does that mean?

A positive occult blood test means there is hidden blood in the stool, which can happen due to minor gut issues or other conditions. It is not always serious but should be followed up.

Question

Hi doctor I am experiencing mild stomach pain and feel the need to poop after every meal. I have also attached my blood report for your review.

Hi sir, I had a gastroscopy done a month ago due to constipation with blood and black flecks in my stools. I have attached my report. If there was bleeding in the upper GI tract, it would have been highlighted in the report, right?

Question

Dear Sir I am getting light colored stool with black holes and particles. It looks like leafy blood or undigested food. I tested RUT positive one month ago and took treatment for 14 days. I have attached my report. How can I clear this?
