The stool test for occult blood, also called a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) checks the presence of blood in stool that is not visible to the naked eye. Blood in the stool is indicative of some kind of bleeding in the digestive tract which could be indicative of conditions like polyps, ulcers and colorectal cancer. The fecal occult blood test can only detect the presence or absence of blood, it can't determine what's causing bleeding. This is a simple, inexpensive, and most frequently performed stool test. An FOBT is a screening test that may help find colorectal cancer early when treatment is most effective. If your test results are positive, additional tests such as a colonoscopy are recommended to figure out the exact location of bleeding.
